Accident: Need some body parts - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

47Ronin · 04-02-2021, 02:03 PM

Dear Z-Friends,

I had an accident today and need some body parts - some of them are unfortunetly discontinued:

- Rear bumper Cover - GM (23164146),
- Rear bower Cover - GM (22985096),
- Rear fender flare - GM (23240651).

I would be happy if you could help me - who is selling these parts or where to get them.

Thanks!

Yes that’s the place. They usually have part outs of the Z

GL finding some of the parts, if we can help let us know.

Rear bumper cover you can use SS part and swap your Z28 diffusser parts into it I think..?

Flares will be the difficult bit

I have spare Z28 rear toe link arms in the UK if you're desperate, but I think these are still available.

I will keep an eye out for you.

The workshop doesn't open until Tuesday. Then I know exactly what I need.
Thank you very much first.

Pat, your trailing parts are from Pfadt, right?
How satisfied are you with that?

Very happy with the Pfadt parts, I may need to get them re-powdercoated one day but the weight savings are good.

I think I might have the spare rear side marker lense too.

Thank you.

I think I need this parts:
Bumper Cover - GM 23164146,
Flare - GM 23240651,
Lower Control Arm - GM 20942237,
Tail Lamp Assembly - GM 23256983
and maybe this:
Lower Cover - GM 22985096.

I don't understand how GM can no longer produce such an important part as the rear lower cover.
The car has only been on the market for 7 years.
I think that's really outrageous.

47Ronin · 04-04-2021, 07:50 AM

That huge indented, dented spot on the back left - what's the name of this part in English? Is rear fender right?
I have not found a spare part under this name.

Might be better, in the long run to buy a whole new subframe assembly. With it being hit like that, its likely the whole thing is tweaked. Which could cause you endless alignment issues, that I personally, wouldn't want to deal with. See them on ebay frequently

Not ideal but a thought:
The lower rear valance, bumper cover and/or fender flare might be able to be feathered out and repainted if they aren’t damaged too bad. I only say that because of the availability of the parts. Don’t let the body shop throw those plastic parts away as they normally would. A good heat gun on the fender flare might pop it back into shape if even that is needed. I picked up fender flares from GM last year and they are primered, so you’d need to paint them anyway. Not sure if they still are available from GM.

Good luck
