Hit a cat - front valance ruined:

Anyone have a spare passenger-side front valance for the 94-98s?

I hit a cat .. a huge friggin' cat, and it tore the thing right off the damn car, sucked it under, got it caught, and dragged it until I could get off the road. Basically the entire top edge is sanded right off, there is no fixing it.

The cat was fine supposedly .. it ran away. Stupid cats .. I hate them so much. On my entire car, it hit just the right spot to save its ass, but the worst structural spot on my car to take a 35mph cat.

So .. anyone have an extra I could purchase? I'd rather not go through Roush for one, I've given them enough of my money - and after the chrome-peeling-rims they won't warranty and other issues, I'd like to be done dealing with them anymore.

I have the side effects without exhaust cut-outs ... so having nothing on the front of my car looks pretty damn silly. Like I have a 400lb person sitting in my car and its sagging in the middle.


... or ... are there any kits anyone could think of that have a front piece that looks alright (aka non-ricey like the Shogun kits) that would match up somewhat with the Roush sides? .. well, that isn't an insane amount of money either .. as I'm still unemployed.

I could, but have my own issues with Roush right now, and would rather not purchase anything directly from them if I can help it. Thought I'd check and see if anyone knew someone with an extra, or used one I could get ahold of cheaper.

Not knocking you in anyway DS. Some cats are a pain. I will give you that. Cat dander is also a burden for some. And yes...dogs do rock.

that sucks, I'd say add the cat to your kill list but he's still alive. Oh well, good luck with the repair.
