Just a NA bumper.. Actually I was going to drill the holes for a headlight washer retrofit as well but these bumpers didn't come marked for where to drill the holes...

Re: My bumper's all fcuked

Update.
Saw Cosmo's today and they offered me a great deal. I already got the replacement bumper and the summer set up waiting to be painted. The bumper is cracked from the inside and it's impossible to see the crack looking at it from up top. It could be felt however and seen from looking up at the driverside vent.. The vent will no longer fit perfectly on to the driverside but that vent's missing now anyways so c'est la vie. The stock valance's tabs are snapped off and it's no longer on the bumper correctly at the end of the passenger side.. Having all said that the bumper's still repairable so it will be good for winter. I'm not going to post pictures of the old bumper cause that ****'s just ugly. Im gonna post pics of something else.

Accident justifies the need for more spending..
Gotta pay to play.
Here is the plan.

Yup, i know how you feel, last winter the ice ruts clean ripped off half of my aftermarket rear, snapped it about 1/3rd in and left it on the road, man i was mad!

Re: My bumper's all fcuked

Well I think I have duct tape... Should work for now.. I'm getting several parts for the car still coming in the mail any day now. Might switch gears and focus on something else on the car. Time to accept that it's part of the modding fun...

lol...you're sounding like you're growing up now! Just kidding bro, that sucks about the bumper.

Re: My bumper's all fcuked

In Canada if you drive your car in the winter expect something to be broken, cracked, scratched, and chipped by the spring. Every single year.

Re: My bumper's all fcuked

Don't take it too hard, it's all part of the process and keeps things interesting to fix stuff when it breaks.
You know you can't possibly give in that easily.
If you do you'll regret it once spring rolls around!

Re: My bumper's all fcuked

i've pulled of my bumper a couple times. I've had to re-position the fender liner screws more than once. A couple of the bolt holes also pulled apart, so I to put in big washers to hold it on :(.
Given how quick you can swap the front bumper, I think a winter bumper really isn't a bad idea...
Don't feel too bad. This city (country?) is tough on cars. I was hoping to fix up mine, but now there are so many rust spots and paint damage, and chips that are actually dents..., I too am discouraged.

Is the damage contained to just the bumper then?

Yeah just the bumper so far.. Fender's are fine but not too sure about the liners although i'm not too worried about them..

Re: My bumper's all fcuked

Its a given when driving any lowered car. Reversing in any type of deep snow = a no no. I did the same thing and got lucky....I hadn't screwed in the sides of my OEM valence so it simply popped off. If it had been screwed in I'm sure it would have messed up the bumper.

Take it as something to learn from...

Yeah, thanks... I might have fun with this bumper and use it for next year's winter setup (if tabs are still in tact or its repairable by diy).. I know I wouldn't mind running into boulders with this busted bumper next year that's for sure. I'm probably gonna spray bomb it and what not just for fun.

Re: My bumper's all fcuked

It's too dark to take pics. I spoke with Loc and southcentre fine cars have these bumpers in stock... **** I think I need to get a beater...
