I need to take some pictures. -- Posted by iconoclast at 3:05 pm on June 21, 2008 okay i dont want to seem like cingular or some shit but here -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 3:38 pm on June 21, 2008 mostly cosmetic, looks as if the plastic clips on the bumper broke where it connects to the other body panels -- Posted by iconoclast at 6:24 pm on June 21, 2008 what does this generally go for no trouble with the side panels right -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 7:46 pm on June 21, 2008 I can't tell anything from the pictures. A new bumper would be covered by the persons insurance if you did collect it. Couple hundred plus install -- Posted by Edge123 at 11:23 am on June 22, 2008 If insurance doesn't replace it it looks fine. Just buy some new bumper clips and refit it. Maybe buy some touch up pens for the cosmaetic damage. -- Posted by iconoclast at 11:55 am on June 22, 2008 the insurance will pay for it, but i was told the bumper cant be fixed, is that bs? so the bumper clips can be reinstalled and fixed? or are they attached -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 1:43 pm on June 22, 2008 The bumper clips are cheap plastic thats molded into the bumper, it cannot be fixed. -- Posted by Edge123 at 10:31 am on June 23, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 9:43 pm on June 22, 2008 The bumper clips are cheap plastic thats molded into the bumper, it cannot be fixed. You could remake them, sand off the old ones then glue them on. -- Posted by iconoclast at 2:16 pm on June 23, 2008 Estimate was $1448 including extensive labour -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 5:01 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from Edge123 at 12:31 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 9:43 pm on June 22, 2008 The bumper clips are cheap plastic thats molded into the bumper, it cannot be fixed.

This in which you speak would make the clips incredibly weaker and break from NORMAL driving. -- Posted by tempoluvver69 at 5:42 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 5:01 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from Edge123 at 12:31 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 9:43 pm on June 22, 2008 The bumper clips are cheap plastic thats molded into the bumper, it cannot be fixed.    You could remake them, sand off the old ones then glue them on.

I didn't mean use glue like pritstick. I mean industrial glue like tigerseal. Trust me I know first hand this stuff is as good as bolting parts on. And No i'm not retarded I know many mechanics and bodywork specialists and this is their advice in this situation. Being retarded is to right your when you mean you're. -- Posted by iconoclast at 4:23 pm on June 24, 2008 some other guy offered 750, with repairing instead of replacing -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 6:42 pm on June 24, 2008 Quote: from prisoner of hss at 4:16 pm on June 23, 2008 Estimate was $1448 including extensive labour Then obviously at this point something else would be wrong besides the rear bumper cover.
