Wife hit the parking lot poll

That’s what I was thinking.lol

 

Put a maxi pad on it and call it a day.

Dang fiberglass plastic... no one will notice.

Wait ..sell it. Stupid tax for letting your wife drive your car

 

Yes,but but the frame is probably going to rust out in a few years anyways..

 

The whole bumper has to be replaced.

 

I voted on page #1.

 

The side pieces come off fairly easily. There is also a company that makes replacements that go right over the existing ones too I believe. And there are a couple I have seen that make a sweet aftermarket one as well.

 

Leave the wife, fix the truck.

 

This is probably correct. See below.

That peice can be replaced. I had mine “scraped” by a mower at work, paint missing to the black plastic underneath. Can’t sand and just paint, has to be replaced. Part, paint match, and labor......$500.

 

I think this can be popped back out?!

What would Quagmire do?

 

I have very similar damage. I parked up against the garage because of the below zero weather (Ohio) and the front tires were resting on a pile of shoveled snow. When I started up my truck and started to put in gear it rolled off the snow about 6-7 inches and into the garage door frame. It broke the fender to bumper cover attachment as well as the upper plastic headlight mounts. The paint and headlight were scuffed pretty badly. I was able to buff the scuffed paint out as well as the headlight and there is very little damage. Laugh if you want but I used good old rubbing compound and my Mothers polishing ball that I clean my aluminum wheels with. I used to work in a detail shop and was not afraid to try that. Its not worth a repaint. It cost me $31 to replace the broken mount and the headlight will be fixed next. Its $500 for a new assembly so I am going to try plastic welding it and see if that works.
I was about sick when it happened. I also could not believe that much damage occurred from just a bump. There is not much behind all that plastic in this area.

 

I also had the black trim area pop out like yours has. It will pop back in place from behind.

 

ARB bumper time! Plus the suspension needed to go with!

 

I clicked looking for a poll on whether the wife hit the parking lot.

Did not find a poll.

 

Did you try buffing out with paint thinner or break fluid, make sure to wipe it off after

 

Fix it. Would drive me insane.

 

That looks badass.
