I was in a fender bender in my mercury grand marquis 1998 and I was wonder which part do I need to purchase? The bumper is still on and the hood is ok. The only thing that's messed up is the middle part where the grille and lights are. Any advice on which parts do I need to purchase? If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Smile - you'd be shocked at how many parts it could need! If there's no sheet metal damage or problem with radiator support you could see if you could get all the parts used. Bumper may look ok but not be and you might need some help assessing the damage if you intend on doing this yourself,

Yeah. take a look at that radiator support. If its bent up, you may have problems with your radiator as well. Umm, as for the grill part. Go for aftermarket parts, they tend to be cheaper and there are lots more designs that will make your car stand out. Look at your hood and quarter panels at different angels in the sunlight to see if you have any dents. Even though you may not have scratches, dents can still be there. To take out these dents, you should look into something like Paintless Dent Repair.
