Default Front Bumper Problem with 98 Accord

The problem is, as i was leaving for work, i backed out of my parking spot and my front bumper seemed to had popped out of place. When i went to check on it, i noticed that the passenger side was alright but the drivers side was hanging pretty low to the ground. It looks like any bolts or such that kept the bumper in place had been ripped out and there were holes and tears on the side of the bumper. so should i go ahead and get a whole new bumper, try and get the parts that are suppose to hold the bumper up, or both? if i need to order a bumper and parts, any suggestions where i could get the best deal? also, is there any way i could solve the problem for now? thanks in advance.

what year is your car? if it is old, it could have rusted off like mine did, in that case you have to modify the bracket to weld it to the frame, or get a new one. local junkyard should have one, or check ebay and such. it is it a newer model, it might have hit something and knocked it loose.

Just an FYI:

I know a lot of people like pulling up until their tires hit the curb. There are pieces of rebar that usually stick up out of these and will rip your front end off rusted bolts or not.

most likey its your bottom end came lose, it has plastic screws that connects the bottom shild to the front bumper. I know mine for a fact is hanging and tore up, cuz i treat my car like 4 x 4. If all else fails use black tape for tempery. Then by some plastic screws to fix it, find them at autozone,avance auto, and ect.
