Default Front Skid Bars

Does anybody know where I can buy replacement skid bars (the 2 metal arms under the front bumper that stop you from bottoming out the front end). It appears that the previous owner of my car hit something pretty hard and bent the left skid bar and I would like to replace the whole thing instead of having it bent back in place.

I'm sure the delaer has them at a high markup, but this is surely the type of thing a trip to an "Automotive Recylcying Center" (e.g., used to becalled a junkyard) could get you cheap.

PAY2PLAY,

Here's the info for the bar;

Plate, Fnt Bpr Imp Bar Skid, 97-01, #10400765 ($189.00 at Pace http://www.paceparts.com/index.asp?P...OD&ProdID=1309

Good luck hunting ... but I would try the junkyard as Lee suggests.

Thanks for the info, I haven't had the chance to yet but I will probably check the junkyards first. I saw it in the Ecklers catalog a few days ago but they want about $220 for it and I trying to avoid spending that much on it if I don't have to.
