Default Front Fascia Question

I'm currently considering picking up a new front fascia for fairly cheap. There's one catch, it doesn't have mounting tabs. I know nothing when it comes to bodywork. What would it take to make tabs for the fascia. Any ideas on a cost? I most likely wouldn't want to do the work myself. (Hopefully a body guy like Pascal can chime in.)

Tabs?? You have any pictures... I would honeslty rather work with metal then plastic but are all the tabs missing??? I am picturing one thing in my head that can be totally wrong... I have a Cervini front end and dont remember the stocker so Idk...

On the plus side... You can always mend and tap plastic fairly easy for making alternate mounting points...

Those mounting tabs are called bumper reinforcement.
They retail for $11.13
Part #: 5R3Z17C861-AA for the right one and 5R3Z17C861-AB for the left.
That's all you need.

Thanks a lot. I'm considering throwing them an offer. For that cheap, I wouldn't be losing out on much. I figured you'd know more than the guy selling them.

Thanks. It's a "Buy It Now or Best Offer" listing. I plan on offering significantly less. i'm trying to locate headlights and turn signal markers before I do though.

Definitely keep us posted as I would like to see how this works out! I really like the design of this fascia as it gives you the old school look with the exposed/round headlamps. Good luck!!
