Big improvement! Though it looks a bit UV faded...now you just need a new grill by the looks of it! :)

Yeah I’ve got a headlight restore kit to fix the uv fading. I would have bought a new grill at the yard too but I couldn’t find one that wasn’t broken too

Huh...the grill seems like a weird part to be broken on a lot of cars? How would that happen?

I just had to buy a new headlight for my Accent a few months ago...the local yards were charging an arm and a leg for their used parts and the nearest pick-n-pull is over an hour away.

Still haven’t installed it yet...my old light still worked fine, but there was a crack in it so water and dirt are starting to get in, hence the new one. Once I put the new one on, though, the passenger side original one is going to look crummy from the UV fading on it...I should break out one of those kits and see what I can do!

Yeah because the upper grill which is the grey broken piece is actually pretty flimsy. You can break one of the slats with not a lot of force so I’ll probably buy a new one off rock auto rather than having to try and find one in a pick a part.

The headlight was 39 bucks which is about how much rock auto was selling them for but I avoided the 15 dollar shipping charge

Not bad, good luck on the grill search!

Funny. A guy I work with was talking about going to the junkyard to get a driver side headlight for his Cobalt today. (His wife hit a deer.)

Lol that’s a coincidence. I thought it was funny because in the yard I went to i could only find drivers side cobalt headlights. There wasn’t a single passenger side assembly in the entire yard from what I saw lol
