Black Ice Sux

Coming home from work just after midnight Tuesday (after it had been raining) I lost it on some black ice and kissed the guard rails head on with the front end on my 97 sport...

 I wasn't going more than maybe 25 but started down a grade twards a creek and small bridge and as soon as gravity took over I was cooked!

Anyways, I tore up the drivers side headlight and turn signal, demolished my bumper, lost my brand new Pilot 119 fog light on drivers side, (anyone have 1 laying around?) I found a set of all for lights on ebay, so I'm covered there, looking for a bumper now, and probably the bumper mounting bracket on the drivers side looks messed up too.

the grill cracked but I'll live with that I guess!

Oh well! could have been worse, I went thru the bridge sideways so at least I didn't destroy the dak! managed to clear the bridge and nosed into the rails about 50' past the bridge going maybe 10mph.

Any good sources for a bumper?

 Looked on Ebay too, nothing good, and some want $90 to ship it?

I recall seeing them new for like $89 someplace, dunno about shipping though.

Thanks!

Tony.
