What year is your CC and is it an LS model? Mine is an 01 LS and I have found several on E-Bay. Price isn't bad but they want an arm and a leg for shipping. I priced one at the local dealership. Man that was a sobering experience!

Not to mention you have to paint it after you get it.

I then patched mine with some cut up black oil bottles and pop rivets. Don't look cool but it's holding so far and the price was right. Also if you have the LS you will have to buy not only the lower valance (and verify by picture which style you have) but also probably at the very least the push-in retainers behind the rubber divider strip on the bumper. I looked at LMC but wasn't able to find my style bumper there.

You might have better luck than I did.

Good luck to ya! Mine is vertical halfway between tow hook and outer end of bumper. Caused by what looke like a stick in the mud on the road. Turned out to be a piece of pipe!

If you are not going to be prone to damaging the front valance, there are some very cool ones out there with holes for adding fog lights.
I'll second the idea to watch ebay. If you have a local salvage yard, you may find good options there as well.

I found a new one on ebay for less than $40 shipped. I had to modify the license plate part to fit the duct for the radiator, but it looks great.

This is the one. The shipping cost has gone up since I purchased mine, my total cost was $37.04:

Wow that is a good price. Mine was just replaced from the dealer and was over $200.00 and it was yellow when it arrived at the bodyshop. Good info for future sticks/pipes in the mud

Hey bridn! You're lucky. I can find quite a few like the style on yours but it gets a little tougher on an 01 LS model.

Hey, thanks for the link. Price looks a lot better than any other I've found. I'm actually closer to Denver than KC but they say on their site shipping is available from KC and not from Denver. Gonna call em to make sure.
