    WTB: Bezel that goes around Grille and headlights

    So I hit a deer last fall and it broke a headlight and that plastic piece that goes around the upper grille and the headlights. I replaced the headlights and I figure it's about time to replace that bezel too. I would really prefer a painted one. (Brilliant Silver) But if you have one, and...

    If I slam on the brakes, or if I powerbrake, or if I back up and turn sharp to the either left or right, can't remember right now, there is a loud popping noise that sounds like it's coming from the front left near the tire? I had someone tell me it sounded like the sway bar or somethin...
