    Last fall, I wrecked my 08.
    I've finally gotten some money and time to start getting this fixed at a local body shop.
    While I only rear ended a Camry going about 8-10mph, it only put a small bubble dent in their rear bumper but did around $3,000 in damage to the front end.
    With Covid-19, a lot of junk yards are closed. What makes things worse is my paint color came out in 2006 and gen II ended in 2009. So I only have a 3 year window of the same color.
    Finding junkyard parts that aren't rusted or the junkyard is closed is next to impossible.
    The high cost is due to using a new hood, fender and front bumper, and the fact my car has metallic paint which drives up the cost as well.
    This car..I paid $6k in cash and it only had 129k miles at the time. The rest of the car is spotless and rust free. So replacing the car would make little sense. It's a great Prius otherwise.
    Anyway, if some members here could find the following parts for me, I would be more than happy to pay you for shipping, the part, etc.

    I need some of the splash shields on the front end as well as the fender seal and a bunch of clips, bolts, etc for the bumper cover, splash shields, and fender liners, and also the 3 plastic grille inserts for the front bumper.

    If anyone has a donor car or cheap junkyard nearby, let me know please

    If you are looking for used parts, then try : https:Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

    If new non-oem parts, then check CL, as a bunch of companies offer aftermarket body parts. Try other metroplexes as needed.

    Letting an older HV battery sit for months unused can lead to failure. Are you prepared for that?

    Good luck!
