First off this is a stillen front lip right?
How much should I offer this salvage yard for it(if it is not cracked)?
I've searched the forum and found you can get a new one for $140-180.
Would 65-70 be to low?
thanks

It looks pretty beat up,

but at 60 bucks that's a really good deal. The side panels were shaped like "L"'s when I got them, and I was able to mold them back with a heat gun.. With a lot of heat, patience and tape/vicework to hold it straight, you should be able to straighten it out. I wouldn't pay more than 80 for it, especially if you can't work on it without cracking the paint.

You have to consider that since it's already painted, it'll take some more time to strip and prep the surface to be painted again (if his car is a different color).

Looks Fine

It looks like the front end is crooked not the just the lip. If the yard is local, just go try and fit it on your car.

If you don't have clear front corner lamps you should also check them out to see if they're salvagable, if you don't already have them.
Btw the lip look ok to me from that angle.

Take the lip off to see if it goes back to the original shape somewhat. If it's still pretty bent, you gonna have a hard time coaxing back into the correct shape. If the paint underneath is sticking well, there's no need to strip the old stuff off.
