fiberglass is what corvettes are made of, ridged material. your bumper cover is a more resilent material.

it ill be best to remove the bumper overlay from the car. there should be clips hplding it onto the bumper frame support. don't be surprised to find styrofoam inserts behind the overlay.





not hom much clearance you have between the overlay and the underlayinf bumper support.





wash the bumper throughly with hot water and soap. a little paint thinner or mineral spirits to remove any wax will help. clean outside as well as the inside. the removal of wax will prevent embedding it into the paint when you sand. if not, you will have paint problems.





you can use fiberglas to build up path on the inside of the overlay to fix the crack. cut a sheet of glass cloth slightly larger than the crack. let it extend about an inch or so beyond the edges. mix the fiberglass resin and the harderner per instructions'





coat the interior of the overlay with resin/harderner and quickly embedd the cloth into the mixture. alernatively, you can soak the cloth in hardner and lay it onto the bumper overlay. you have to act quick in that it will set up quickly.

As was mentioned before, 150 sounds like a better deal since they're not removing and replacing the bumper... just painting.|||about 150...|||Go to asnubumpers.com for a good deal on bumpers.|||Color match isn't just a paint code. Each painter mixes their own paint based on the vehicle code, a good painter will match a color flawlessly (esp. gold, or other light metallic) The second thing you want to make sure of is that the painter is using a quality clear coat or top coat. Dupont, PPG, and or Sikkens are pretty standard in the industry. Stay away from OMNI (off brand of ppg) or sherwin williams (the KIA of paint). Most bargain shops are using lower end product, so be careful. It may not seem like a big deal, but a year down the road when the clear is yellowing/cracking it looks terrible. You will always get a better deal if the piece is new, and off the vehicle. If you shop around, you should get it done for 150 with quality clear.

The fender is on the sides, two on the front, two on the back, that curve over your wheels. On most cars made in the past 20-30 years, the bumper is connected directly to the fender, resulting in a single, streamlined piece look.

I need a new one but the garage quote is diabolical. Could I do it myself with a socket set, a jack and of course a new bumper? How much would the new bumper cost?|||Trust me its very easy!


All the bumper is help on by is a few bolts.


What you need to do it locate all the bolts and then it will slide off forwards away from the car. The bolts can be found in 3 places;


-Under the front grill


-Under the bumper it self. On most cars you will need to detatch the bottom engine cover first as it bolts on to the bumper as well as the car it self.


-In the wheel wells


To make sure you are undoing the right bolts, just follow the bumper along, and when you come to a bolt, just make sure the bumper is attached to it. 15min and your done


Hope this helps


Andy|||i don't have a visual on the car ,not familiar to me,but yes you should,they vary in price so much because of chrome,plastic/painted cover .if you live in the US you might try partstrain.com for assistance,or some other body parts seller in your locale.|||Bumpers range in price so much, it is hard to say the cost, That old, I would only look for a used one from the junk yard.





And yes, it is fairly simple to change them out. BUT, be careful, you might set off the 'airbags' if installed. That will get expensive. Sounds stupid, but to lessen that from happening, 'Disconnect the battery', but that does not allow you to be rough with the bumper, the sensor may still get tripped.

If i knocked a whole in my bumper would the bumper to bumper warranty cover it?

I hit a snowbank and caused a chunk to come out, is it possible that my 3 year/ 36,000 mile bumper to bumper still covers it?





Honda Civic LX|||Yes it will. Just take it back and tell them its got a warranty from bumper to bumper, and you want the broken one replaced.

How to fix the front bumper on a Chevy Cavalier?

I was in a very small wreck. I hit a station wagon while i was pulling out of a parking lot. The only damage that was done was it tore off half of the bumper. Since it is plastic, very cheaply made, what happened was that the holes that the bolts should be in tore. So now i cant put the bolts back in because it wont hold on the bumper. Is there anything i can use to fix this, because i really dont have the money to buy a new bumper. Thanks.|||A new fangled thing called washers.

How do you remove a bumper sticker from a car without causing damage?

After you put a bumper sticker on your car, can it be removed (without causing damage to the car)? If so, how?|||heat it with a blow drier and slowly peel it off\





the blowdrier makes the glue not sticky and soft|||Do not use your fingernails to try and pick it off, this will most likely scratch the paint. Goo Gone does work but only if it can soak through (not likely) so go with the hair dryer on a hot day to peel it off and then use the Goo Gone when you can see the glue from the sticker. I like taking an old sock and turn it inside out and rub it after the Goo Gone has soaked for a while. Try and get the Goo Gone Orange Spray Gel as it works best for horizontal surfaces like your bumper.|||I find serveral good ideas up here already but you can also do it with WD-40. After peeling off as much as you can, spary it with WD-40 and let it soak. It breaks down the glue and you should be able to get the rest of it off without much problem.


|||i have found that if you heat it up with a blow dryer and peal off as much as possible then lather the area with peanut butter and rub it in the peanut butter will remove all of the residue of the sticker ||| spray it with windex or anything with ammonia. Soaked it well and keep it soaked. Leave it on overnight for best results or at least a few hours then just peel it off. Should come off easily.|||try using very hot water on it. maybe boiling hot water. just pour it on the sticker over and over. the heat will cause the adhesive to melt. once you get it off clean the area with goo gone or windex|||Peel off what you can first. Then use cotton balls and Goo-Gone to get off the sticky stuff. Goo-Gone is the best and can be used on all sorts of things!





Buy it at the grocery store.|||You can go to any auto store or even Wal-Mart and buy spray can call "Bug %26amp; Tar" remover read directions on back of can it easy, it works very well and it won't damage your paint... |||The above answer is correct and you can also use a hair drier on the low hot setting..





Update........."DO NOT USE GOO GONE AT ALL".|||get some "Goo Gone" it's the best stuff in the world. You can find it at all kinds of stores.|||Vinegar.|||vinegar might ruin paint id use hair dryer or adhesive remover|||Alcohol and water work the best|||soap, water and then vinegar

If they had bumper stickers for say stage coaches and even tumbrels what would be some good slogans? Plus these could even be ones you would find on t-shirts. Any ideas for what aristos would have and a peasant?|||Peasant: Honk if you like the guillotine

What is the best way to fix scratches on a plastic bumper instead of replacing the whole thing?

I hit my rear bumper and don't know the best way to get rid of the scratches on it. My car is a 2005 Jetta in which it can get expensive to replace the entire plastic bumper. It costs around $200. How much do those plastic scratch removers cost? How do you use them? I don't have any holes in my bumper, just a lot of scraps.|||If you can get your fingernail into one of the scratches as you run your nail across the surface, the scratches are too deep too buff or polish out. It must be re-painted. If the scratches are through the paint and primer, and all the way down into the plastic, you need to fill those scratches with a special plastic repair material, and all the appropriate adhesion promoters, since the bumper is made of a plastic called TPO. Getting paint and filler to stick to TPO is like trying to get something to hold onto teflon. It will flake right offf at the next slightest impact. To remove the bumper, fix the scratches, paint the bumper and reinstall it will cost about 8 hrs labor and $100 in materials at a real body shop. You are looking at about $400-500. If you have to replace the bumper, add a couple hundred more. Personally, there is a reason they call them bumpers. Just touch it up. As soon as you fix it, somebody is gonna hit it again. Don't waste the money unless it's cracked or really ugly.|||Well, the best way to make scratches disappear on plastic is by using wax !! You can also try 'heat moulding' so that the surrounding plastic can be folded over the scratched area, giving a good appearance. However, please don't try this yourself, go to a trained mechanic, who will fix the problem at a cheaper rate !!


Good Luck !!|||2000 grits wet sandpaper with a electric sander will be the best to remove straches on plastic if they are not deeper than clear coat .

How can I make plastic bumper pliable to remove a dent?

There is a dent in my rear bumper. I'm able to reach underneath the bumper with a piece of wood and push the dent back into place from behind. However, it won't stay in place. It goes back to the way it was after I stop pushing. Is there a way to make the bumper pliable? Will heat from a hair dryer work?|||yes the hair dryer should work, so would a 100 watt light bulb in a drop light, but I like your hair dryer idea even better actually what you want to do is heat the plastic carefully and gently push, Im hoping the heat will help the plastic form its shape back. just be carefull and do not overdo it . and is their any way to cut a length of wood and wedge it behind the bumper? to give the plastic more support?|||Hair drier might work. May not be hot enough though.


Park the car in the sun so the bumper is already warm. Then try it.


A heat gun would work better.|||Heat gun or torch. Works every time. Just don't hold it on there too long or the paint will bubble.

Good Luck! :)|||a raw bumper needs to be washed with a solvent then sanded then washed again before you can put primer on it.go with the primed one even though its more money it will save you money when you get it painted.|||top_ls1 is correct. and priming plastic is a pita, the stuff to do it right is expensive, and nasty. i'd definitely go with primered.

How much does a front bumper repair cost for a 2010 Toyota Corolla?

My bumper surface is uneven and not as shiny as rest of the car after reapinted?

my bumper got some dent and some scratches and I decide to have it repaint. after it is re-painted. my bumper surface is uneven (on the area where it had dent) and i feel the whole bumper isnt as shiny as rest of the car after reapinted. I noticed the surface is not even from certain angle when the light reflect on the bumper. i guess it may prolly cuz by the material they used to fill up the dent. is there anyway to get rip of the uneven surface, and make the paint as shiny as the rest of the car ? Car is only 1 yr old and I intend to keep everything new.|||Sanding the surface before paint has nothing to due with the quality of shine. Sanding the surface only give the paint a texture to bite into so in the future it wont peel off. the only reason for a dull surface is either the clear when they applied it had to much solvent and dried to quickly and had a die back. THe undeven texture in the previously damaged area is probably bad body work. the uneven surface is there to stay unless they will do the work over again. the dull bumber may be due to a sevear amount of orange peal which is easliy fixed by sanding down the high areas and then buffing and polishing.|||bumpers are plastic and are very hard to paint. that being said, the bumper was probably not sanded properly before being painted. take it back to the shop and complain (especially since you plan on keeping the car.) for future reference, no matter what happens, aftermarket paint is never as durable as factory paint and will chip more readily now.

How long should the bumper stickers stay on?

How long is it proper to leave bumper stickers from a political campaign on? At some point, keeping the stickers on for the losing candidate is counter productive.

How many times have scratched your car's bumper while driving in and out of parking lots?

I scratch my car's (already scratchy) bumper yesterday. After that I began to notice other cars and even the very old ones had perfectly scratchless bumper. I bought my car in used condition which already had many scratches on its bumper. Yesterday I added one more to them as I failed to realize that distance between the car and the other object was a couple inches lesser than I had guessed|||Hey.


Some cars are hard to judge, especially when you back them into their spot. I rented a Dodge Magnum last year, and dont think I managed to back it into it's spot perfectly even once. I didn't rub anything though, because I was being too cautious! Maybe your car is one of those that's just hard to judge when it comes to parking.

Does bumper to bumper really mean that the warranty really covers everything on the car?

I have an 08 Chevy Cobalt and I pay extra every month for an extended bumper to bumper warranty that the dealership stated would cover everything whether its mechanical, electrical or any other problems with the car.

You may need to read it more than once, since many of them would require a lawyer to decipher the legalese in them.
