I ordered the bumper cover and valance from Pershing who clearly prices the part far lower than anything I saw on ebay, and prices the painting at $125 (my fog trim and fogs are fine); I will post about the experience when I do it. I got a very nice silver RF fender from a junkyard ($100) and found another in not quite perfect condition for $150 which I did not buy. Pershing's price for a new painted fender is only a little more and depending on their answer I will either order the additional part and maybe the rear cover I also need if they tell me there is an advantage to ordering these all at the same time. I know I need to R&R all three front pieces and I am gearing up as we speak.

When she's reborn I will have to give her a name.
Actually I stay away from EBay; if I have to put excessive effort into making I sure I get what I'm supposed to, then that is too much effort, so IMO EBay is to much effort.
