rear bumper fixable?

awd-drifter · 10-02-2009

damn man, I just got into a small bumper bump. this is on the driver rear bumper side. I'm thinking about pounding it back to place because i was planning on repainting the car sometime next year already. Good thing the other driver and I agreed on not to call insurance because his car just had a small scratch and cracked the one piece of signal lense. I'm just hoping nothing in my rear frame is bent. The trunk doesn't look off, seems like the bumper it self was only damaged! damn it!

Looks like just your bumper cover is messed up. It could be fixed, but depending if you can find one, it might just be easier to replace it.

lol. for sure! I guess I'll have to bump it out before there's more snow. Going to thailand next year, so we'll have to see if i can just carry the bumper! lol.

HO-LEE sh*t. I actually had time to check it out. It's just bent right on this area only. The jack was sorta hard to get out but it was still a hassle. Luckly it didn't ruin any bolts so it is possible to align the bumper correctly and straight.

A 2x4 and a decent sized hammer will take care of that easily. haha

lol. looks like kicking it will do! lol. I'll probably use a heat gun to have the bumper back to it's usual way instead of it being bent like that.
