Cracked rear bumper HELP! - Honda-Acura.net

alanMI88 · 02-01-05, 10:41 PM

I backed into a car the othe day, and my bumper cracked. Is there anything I can do to hold my bumper togeather untill I can buy a new one? I just bought the car like 3 weeks ago and I have no money to buy a new bumper. I have pics of the bumper at http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/778693/3
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

DUCT TAPE solves all.

About the ebay one you are looking at: Please don't. Get a stock one and paint it if necessary.

Why should i get a stock one? Why not the one from ebay, or any other one?

Just buy the stock. Those kits look so rice and if you are just buying the back bumper, it is especially rice. Keep it classy and keep it stock.

Try another salvage yard - maybe one thats a little farther away? Or you can check online also (not just ebay but sites that offer wholesale oem parts and online salvage yards).

You could also find out if anyone lives around you (check cardomain or just walk up to ppl that have your car and a diff bumper) that has a kit on their car and kept their stock pieces. I'm sure they'd let it go for a reasonable price.

BTW, what did you back into? And how fast?. . .maybe a bike is best for you

And if none of those work maybe you should just take it off (if its already falling off). Just say you're cutting down on weight and drag (dont forget the wing

).

I was backing out af a parking spot, and backed into a car parked behind me. I wasn't going that fast, like 2 and a half or so. But the people that owned it before me had hit the car in the same place, so the bumper there was already a little weak. Also, it was really cold that day, like aroud 10 degrees, so the bumper was really brittle. So when I hit the other car, it just cracked.
