Need help - my first 240sx

Sorry if this is a trivial question, but I just don't know any better. I have always loved these cars and finally found one that fits my small budget. It is a 1989 240sx that needs a lot of attention. Mechanically it is pretty good, but was mashed pretty hard in the front. I was told that the attached picture is what my bumper and lip should look like. There isn't enough of mine left to tell for sure. I was given the attached pic and told that is what my car is supposed to look like. Can anyone help me for sure and identify if that is correct? I like the look of the stock lip. Are these parts readily available in the for sale ads or are they rare and would blow my budget trying to get? There seems to be a lot of different bumper choices and I really don't know what to ask for in the wanted section. So Please help me figure this out.

Owner and soon to be (I hope) driver of my first 240sx.

Thanks,

The bumper, fenders, hoods, and lights should be readily available on forums, junkyards, craigslist, ebay, etc. The lip may be a little harder to find, as it has become sort of a hot item to have. You may luck out and find the lip for cheap though. Good luck with it.

Oh, to help with your search, the front end you posted is from a 1989-1990 240sx (pignose).

Thanks for the quick help - at least I know the correct terms to use in the ads. I will start searching for something reasonable or at least something I can fix

Those are all simple provided you have no structural damage and such. Good luck, its good to see someone giving a 240 real TLC.
