Appreciate the offer, but I've already got a 99 header panel and grille headed this way from rockauto.

Took some parts off and the damage was as I expected. Toasted header, the bolts on one of the bumper mounts sheared (bolts holding the bracket to the bumper) so I'll need to replace those. Believe it or not, the valance popped itself back out. Looks to be in good shape still, so I'll continue to use it. Might need some new paint, though.

Heh, some hair(fur?) was actually stuck to the valance.

The header is paint to match, but considering you don't even see it, I'm just going to hit it with some black paint over the grey primer. I could paint it hunter orange for irony sake and nobody would see it until I opened the hood, lol.
