A deer decided I didn't need a front grille. Every bit of the front plastic was damaged, but the repair shop told the insurance company parts have been discontinued, so it was declared to be totaled.
Anyone have experience finding quality aftermarket plastic body parts for the H3? I was told parts can be found on eBay, but I don't source of those parts.

On a side note, my wife got hit in the rear on her 2020 GMC terrain. She took it in for an estimate and requested a check from the insurance company sent to us and received $480.00 in the mail. The lower bumper cover was popped out and had a scratch, I popped it back into the retaining clips and repaired the scratch=total cost>$0

Update: My local agent convinced the company to remove the totaled label and let me try another repair shop. Here we go ... However, I think would have been way $$ ahead to take the salvage check, like Hummerz suggested. First time to deal with this, so I'm learning about it. If the shops bomb out again, I'll do the repairs myself.
Thanks so much for all of the parts hints. I was told also eBay was a good source for H3 parts.
I don't have a choice if I keep the vehicle, they'd give me a salvage title. But after it is made road worthy again I could get a clean title, so I'm told.
One part I haven't identified yet is a plastic splash shield-thingy between the bumper and lower radiator (not sure yet if it is actually damaged). 2010 I also need #5, but some GM parts sites say I don't
This truck is going to need some specialized repairs (simply because of parts availability) along with high-mileage work, but there is nothing else like it, as the ad says, so I'd like to keep it. I don't know what I'd get if I had to get something else.
