Hey, hoping some one can help me out here. my wife recently ran over a road cone on the highway and broke the bottom part of the grill off. i am in need of a new front bumper assembly, as it looks to me. i also need the front long grill and the little side one. I am wondering if anyone knows what other front bumper piece would fit on there (04-06-07 ect or matrix) i wouldn't mind changing it a bit if it will fit, i like the other styles better. my vibe is blue with no plastic mud guards around the car (unfortunately). I am thinking the cheapest way would be to find one already painted or used or buy a new one and get it painted. my deductible is $500 so i think it may be cheaper to do it myself. any help?? thanks

me personally, I like the 03 & 04 front end better than the 05-08. You can put the 05-08 on with no problem, I can't remember if the 03 & 04 bolts up the same or not, but a while since it was talked about. AFA the Matrix front end, I'm 99% sure that it will not be a direct bolt on.
