I've got a stock GT grille sitting here in my room I'll gladly sell to you! haha...and for dirt cheap! Sucks that your ride got hit, but it's good that an honest person is the one who hit you. You got very lucky.

I'd personally try to sell your grille and go with a GT/aftermarket front. Are your fogs the same size as the GT's? If so that helps.

I debated what to do with the V6 front when I had it and there really aren't many options, which is why I went the GT route. I would have loved to get the GT500 front but that's not in the budget now

i know what your saying but idk i need to look at stuff price wise. i love the eleanor grille and get a ton of compliments on it, and right now i cant really afford anything extra so unless i can get everything for the right price i might just go back to stock v6 bumper with a chin spoiler or something. ill just have to see what the estimate comes out to tm

by 1/4 panel do you mean your fender? i'd get the functional vented ones that cruizinconcepts has...i'm trying to pull the trigger on them, but things keep coming up...i'm hoping somebody smacks into me lol...there's lots of things you can do especially if she wants to pay cash, aftermarket is usually cheaper...good luck man
