Default Front Passenger side moulding help

Does anyone know what this piece is called and where I can get a replacement? I was in an accident and mine is trashed ( this is a generic picture btw ). Also any ideas on how to replace it? I believe mine is riveted in and I do not own a rivet gun. Thanks for taking a look. Sorry this for a 2001 Blazer LS 4wd.

I believe it is called a "bumper flarette". Good luck finding one I would say check the pick n pulls near you. As far as replacing it you may be able to srcrew it in from the backside or something. I don't have a Z so I'm not familiar with how they attach sorry.

Wow I never would have guessed that part name. I did some searching and you are correct, I also found out that the GM part number is GM1269112. I found it at Rock auto for $35. Thanks for the quick and correct response.

I'm pretty sure that piece is held on by 2 little bolts (I think 10mm), that are likely completely seized and will break off when you try to unbolt the old one. Since it's trashed it shouldn't be a problem and you can just bolt on the new one.

Yes,the little and short screws WILL break when you try to remove them! Been there with all the side moulding swap a few years back!
El_Beautor:fine looking unit for the north country! Butaint your rusty frame!
I hit my frame with a wire wheel and primer about every 2 years-give it the same care a Robert Trans truck gets annually:beaded and painted! All my best!
