really REALLY need help finding this piece!

Hey guys.

My body shop guy needs this one little plastic piece so he can finish affixing the front bumper. The car was in wreck, so half of this piece is missing.

It's the white plastic piece, maybe 6 inches or so long, that sits right under the headlight. The bumper slides between this and the headlight, so it gives the bumper proper gap all the way around the bottom.

Here's a picture, I only need the passenger side one. It's the long white plastic piece under the headlight, if you've taken the front off before you'd know what I was talking about.



I've searched part catalogs and I can't find it! Doesn't appear to be apart of the headlight housing assembly. Your help is greatly appreciated, he needs this part ASAP

Don't remember seeing any white plastic pieces for front except the white foam. The only thing close to 6 inches is maybe this:

I'd go to a dealership and ask them to search their catalogs. They should have every single part available for the car. I doubt you'd find something that small from vendors and if for whatever reason anyone has removed that part from their car I doubt they have it just lying around.

Did you even click on the picture I attached? That's the only 6 inches thing that came to mind for securing the bumper.

The one that Reverend circled in yellow is not really a "MUST" to secure the bumper if you don't mind a bit of gap between lights and bumper.
