As some of you know, I am looking to potentially buy a MM that was wrecked by Navirauder locally. I have the price buy it but, it seems a bit much. So, in order to make it make sense, I need to reach out and see if the parts hoarders have what I need to rescue it and what the costs might be.

I need:
1. Front Bumper cover and support
2. Front header panel.
3. Side markers R/L
4. fog lights R/L.

I already have the grill and headlights. Crown vic fenders fit(correct??) those are about $160 each locally. Hood looks untouched.

Those are the major things. PM or post up what you potentally have. i'm trying to get a budget.

Thanks for you help!

As I'm sure you're already aware, the bumper cover is going to be the toughie.

The header panel is unique to the 2003-2005 Grand Marquis...Crown Vic won't work.

The aftermarket front bumpers are not bad.
You could be a badass and swap in a front clip from a 98-02 grand marquis for cheap.

So.. 03 to 05 GM header panel will work?

I thought it was MM specific?

I hate the look of those.

I thought after market bumper covers were unobtainable?

You got a resource?

Front bumper covers are avail. aftermarket for around $500-$600 It's the rear ones that are not produced aftermarket anymore due to the "marauder" embossing

Vic fenders are a lot cheaper out here for the skins. Last fender I got from the JY was like $40 including the core charge IIRC. Unless your talking about brand new fenders. Maybe you can find someone with cheaper JYs in their area to grab the fenders if your prices are JY prices

Correct! I had to replace my front cover after it got backed into. Looks identical, no one will know its aftermarket. I thought my body guy said there is a rear bumper cover available but it just doesn't say MARAUDER on it. But you don't need one of those, and I'm rambling...

aftermarket side lights have crap gasket surround. I want a nice OEM now. Factory header panel for sure = aftermarket fit like crap between the fenders, sharp, uneven edge.
