well my stupid *** friend backed into me with his mazda pickup the other day and left a big *** hole in the bumper. i need to get this fixed soon. its buggin the hell out of me. its mostly all the bumper but there is some small scratches on the hood also...since the bumper is plastic what could i use to fill the hole? fiberglass or something? just tryin to get some ideas on what i should do.

fix it with fiberglass + bondo.

yeah i was lookin at new bumpers too, but it seems that will cost way more, unless i could find one that was already painted to match. but i cant seem to find many milano red bumpers for sale on here or ebay

 

find a good condition used bumper and repaint it to match the color of your car

 

leave it, battles scars are the ****

edit: if you fix it, some other ******* is gonna expletive it up again. thats why im gonna keep my bumpers until they get fucked up real bad then ill do a 98 conversion

 

getting a new cover is less of a hassle than doing it yourself...

 

well its like 150 bucks for a new honda front bumper cover....and then id still have to have it painted and ****.... is there any good aftermarket companies that make oem style covers that fit well?

 

throw a decal over it..

 

red duct tape

jk, on a more serious note, i dont think it would be worth all the trouble patching it up and painting it... just get another bumper.

 

lol red duct tape

 

so where would u recommend getting a new front bumper cover?

 

fiberglass and paint if you want to fix it or buy a new bumper and have it resprayed.

we get bumpers painted in factory colours from the dealer over here.. just have to specify which colour.

 

move your plate up higher

 

if i got it painted by the dealer, would it match well or would i have to get it blended into the fenders?

 

i would go with a new bumper, and the dealer is gonna charge you mega $ to match and paint it. take it to some body shops around your area and see what they think. but as far as the fiberglass/bondo idea goes, i'm not so sure, i've seen a LOT of bad bondo jobs. it might honestly be cheaper in the long run to replace it than to keep fixing it.

 

new bumper

 

Angled "JDM" sticker of your choice will work.

that sucks man, but bondo and or fiberglass should work fine

 

use plastic repair, which is also known as bondo for plastic. let it dry prime paint clear done! it'll look good again

 

well me friend's (who hit me) dad is a mechanic and does body repair at honda, so he could easily fix it. its just that "he never has time" i guess. so could i get a brand new bumper cover and just have him paint it? or would i have to get it blended into the fenders? the paint is 11 years old.
