bump.pplease anyone help.

 

fixed my question help please.

 

screw the bumper straight into the chassis

 

well, maybe i dont mean bumper...bumper cover? cause i dont know how i would screw that into it.

 

can you upload a pic? front or rear? without support you risk catastrophic damage to your vehicle if you are in even a minor accident.... search an online junkyard perhaps?

 

the front, and i would buy one, im going to buy one i jsut have no money now and need transportation, so untill then i need something even if it means taking the risk of major damage, so if anyone can help thats running there 4th gen without it lt me know how your keeping it on.

 

anyone else?pleaseee

 

i dont have the reinforcement on mine, its been that way for 2 years

 

how does your bumper stay on? mine jsut sags with out the support. how are you keeping yours on?

 

Just drive around with no bumper for now. Not sure if its Illegal but screw it. Which bumper support are you missing, the sterafoam part? Or what, pics would really help you out more here

 

here are some pictures of whats going on with my situation, please help me out this is all i have to work with so if anyone is in my siuation please help.

 

dude i would just get a bunch of zip ties and tie it to whatever u can find on the radiator support

 

1. install the bumper on place and use 2 big tapping screws to fasten the corner fender to the corner of the bumper.

2. use a floor jack (or something else) to support the middle of the bumper up so its flush with the headlights and hood

3. buy some 3/4" wide flat stock steel at a hardware store. get some bolts and nuts too

4. using a vice and big pliers bend and cut 2 pieces to stretch from your radiator support to your bumper, then use the bolts and nuts to fasten them all together. (the black metal pieces in the pictures)

NOTE: i still highly recommend getting a bumper beam, and soon! this is not a safe solution, as you can tell from my pics i am still using a bumper beam, i had to do this because it is a body kit and the factory upper part fit poorly and needed more support, so i used steel instead of plastic to make it fit properly.

good luck
