I'm trying to figure out if this is fixable or if I should just get a new front end. If so how should I go about fixing it. Let me know what you think.

 

Yeah, that is fixable.

 

silly question pop it out if it needs it or bondo it. easy. anything is fixable

 

It would be easier to just get a used bumper from someone local, prep it and take it somewhere to get it sprayed.

 

Easier yeah, but would cost quite a bit more.

 

if anything use fiberglass bondo, kitty hair or resin/fiber glass to fix it. bonds does not hold well on plastics and it will eventually crack.

 

no it would be way easier just repairing that, bondo and prep than paint, u wont have to take the whole bumper off haha silly

 

I agree

 

I say buy a new OEM bumper and take the car and new bumper somewhere to get painted. That is the only way to do it correctly.

 

yeah they only cost 395, before paint.

 

People sell used bumpers all the time because they do front end conversions, etc. I got mine for $50.
His bumper looks ripped and severely deformed. If it was just a hole or small tear, he could repair it, but due to the nature of the damage it will take him forever and he obviously doesn't have experience in this department if he is asking this question.

 

Cheap aftermarket OEM replacement bumpers are like $70.00 new, I've had a couple on my Integras over the years.

 

Plastiweld to the rescue.....repairable by a decent shop (and the RIGHT way, none of that bondo ****). Bondo is for smoothing out minor imperfections, not for repairing rips in plastic bumpers. No wonder the Integra market is going to ****.

 

Reputable shops usually won't even touch stuff like that. They will just get a new bumper, spray it and put that on...
****, I even went to one shop to try to get them to just spray my new (used) bumper that I got and they wouldn't even touch it because it has spider cracks in the paint...

 

Easily fixable dude.

 

^^^ i agree with this dude.... BUT it a easy fix...

 

I had an incident with almost that exact same damage, when someone in a parking lot backed up into my car. It also cracked my headlight mounting tabs. I took it to one of the most expensive shops I know in town, and they quoted me the cost of replacing the bumper, headlight with OEM and repainting... about $1700, which I got as a check from the other person's insurance.

I'd be willing to bet that any attempt to repair that would not hold up over time.

 

for a lil more money you can just get a newone

 

that happen to me on my rear bumper i need to get a 98 style bumper
