Hey everyone, I got into a small wreck and I'm Rebuilding my front end, I'm ordering parts but I'm not sure what the hard plastic trim around the radiator is called. Could anyone help out?

Core support or radiator core support.

The head light brackets are also called core supports. eBay is your friend for the rad support and Z1 Motorsports has the best pricing on the head light supports. Their new price is what jokers want on eBay for used and sometimes bent and damaged supports.

An accident involving a crushed radiator, broken core support and pancaked crush structure is no "small wreck".

Oh yea that's not plastic btw its fiber glass

True, but the motor is undamaged, which to me is small lol

I just love your optimism Apestabrook, that is one heck of a "bump" you got involved in. As you say though, your motor is in one piece, good luck with the rebuild.

Would anyone happen to know a reputable website for used parts. I would resort to just Ebay, but there are a lot of unreliable sellers on there and you never know what you're gonna get

Does this seem worth it or should I try to buy the parts individually?

I got my support BNIB for $95 on eBay about 6 months ago and lots of hunting.

Also I have a like new rad im about to sell off my Z with all of maybe 20 miles on it. Looking to upgrade to a koyo or mishimoto for my FI kit.

Lmk if your interested.

Much appreciative of all the responses guys. just got my core support, radiator, and fan. after that i think itll just be the headlight support and the core side support.

Apestabrook

Got the radiator and core support this morning from UPS, just need to buy the Fan, radiator side support, and the headlight support. Those will have to wait til next paycheck but at least I'm half way there.

Only took like 2 days to get it.

I'm looking at the Radiator side support and the Headlight core support.... Are they the same thing? Do you know?
