front bumper cover

[the fat bastid]

Due to a spin-out on a wet road, my front bumper is now cracked around the 3 little bottom pillars. I'm terrified of wasting money on a *****y aftermarket one. Anyone have a oem one for sale?

I think urethane bumpers are pretty fixable as long as they're not punched or torn. I'd see what a reputable body shop says before I threw down for a whole replacement. Glad to hear you're ok and the worst case scenario was avoided.

If you have all the pieces it can be fixed.

+1 on what the group is saying here. If you have all of the parts, then definitely try to have it repaired and save the OEM front bumper cover.

Yup if you cant find a repair shop that actually works on stuff. Contact Jerry.
He put up a bumper for 500 recently on myspace... er that other place with all the faces.. Yeah MY BOOK thats what i heard it was.

Anyway, contact Jerry on this site, he has rainbow sherbet.

Wow, thanks guys. I just figured broke was broke. That will save some money. Right now it is still all together, all pieces are there. I talked to my mechanic and he said "yeah, I'd just epoxy the **** out of the back." Is that what the body shop will do?

No, take it to a professional bumper repair shop. The will weld it back together.

Like Fordnut mentioned they will weld it up (if they're a good shop) Most people don't realize you can weld most all plastics. Just in my welding school we carried at least 8-10 different filler rods for various types of plastic and that was years ago.

You can weld plastics??? Wtf? I never heard of that before in my life. Wow, today I learned. Yeah, i'm going to a real body shop guy, he did a good job on my rear quarter rust.

Welding plastics came in handy when GM introduced their plastic minivans in the 90's. You don't think insurance pays for a whole quarter panel do you? Keep your OEM bumper, fix, blend, clear. Have a seamless repair and your VIN decal still of it.
