Deanna, try this link. I don't know if current. The nose and body lines look like a different set.

The 2016 up camaro noses fit without any modifications.

But seriously though, what is the matter with yours? Fiberglass is repairable by those with a little experience with it,boat people included.The hood in the picture was completely shattered after going up in the air years ago.

Just FYI it looks like the company that actually makes those parts is called Fiber Concepts. They have the same part numbers listed on their sites as what the other website shows. Apparently they're a real company.

I'd probably say repair in most cases. Cracks can be ground down on 1 side & recovered in fiberglass mat soaked in either polyester or epoxy resin. Then the opposite side can be ground through the 2nd half of the way through & filled. Then it can be sanded & final bodyworked.
If in pieces, can be taped together (preferably on the front side) and do the same process starting with side not taped. Also may be acceptable to glue together with a number of different new high tech repair products meant for traditional fiberglass. Old corvette repairman are some of the best at fiberglass repair.
If someone did actually have a new fiberglass nose part, it would need to be bodyworked to line up with vehicle and completely checked over & blocksanded, so that would make more sense for a repair to be possibly the best option.

Thanks for the lead. There is a body shop in Blanco where I will take it for an estimate. She is in the mechanics shop now to find out what caused the sudden surge. Want to fix the problem before I fix the nose. Hoping the fiber glass can be repaired.unless you have a preferred shop or bodyman, here's one that is close to you
