johnridleyWow, eBay to the rescue. I picked up the three broken bits for the front end of the Malibu for about $100. Locally just one of them was $200 and the three together would have probably pushed > $350. Total time for the fix should be about 3 hours.
Not replacing the hood right now, because I can't put a new one in the winter weather in primer or it'll rust, and I can't really paint a hood in the current weather either, too cold. The existing hood isn't too bad after some jumping up and down and punching (literally). I'll probably replace the front bumper cover at the same time.
I still need to straighten out the hood latch, it's shoved back almost into the radiator.
I put my new Nokian W240s on the bike today, it was time to give in to the inevitable. On a quick trip down the driveway, wow, are those things noisy. Very aggressive studs. I'll see how they roll tomorrow.
