Just hit a pigeon going 80+, anyone got a v6 lower grill?

yeah, the pigeon exploded, i would post pics, but its probably inappropriate

theres was a little bit of blood on the front, and it knocked out the lower grill, which is somewhere on the highway now, has anyone switched theres out and still have the original? if so would anyone mind letting it go?

any help is appreciated

I hit a bird of some sort in my pontiac sunbird a few years ago. The bird hit just where the hood closes, and it splattered all of its guts onto the exhaust manifold. Words cannot describe how awful it was trying to clean that up.

Dont see how the pony package would help with a lower grill.
Its not all that expensive at the dealer really. We replace one for a customer who ripped it off on a parking curb. I think the list price was 30 something.

Around here while not common, wild turkey and buzzards are the "birds of choice".

This reminds me of a friend who hit a raccoon and it tore off his entire wheel wheel and damaged his front bumper

Psh, no need for a grill. Just take some foil and that sucker on the exhaust manifolds...

No but seriously, sorry to hear about the car (and the bird) man.

actually what i meant was that i have the lower grille that came part of the v6 pony package... which is different from the standard v6 lower grille.

no sense in changing back to stock. but obviously, i think he would be better off if he could buy locally.
