So, I think if you seen the pics then you would know that I need to do some major exterior work on my EP3. The only things I'm having trouble with really is that I can't find anything online about getting me OEM Front and Rear Bumpers. I found some cracks and tears on both ends and here in Hawaii, it's fairly expensive to get them fixed, and even worse to get them from the dealer.

Yeah, aftermarket fiberglass, used with issues, or OEM are your only options.
Also you have no pictures in this post.
Repairing them is not difficult. Sand the effected areas and use fiberglasss or epoxies to patch the crack, then sand smooth and paint.

Yeah, the more I looked into it more easy I notice it should be to repair. The only reason why I was looking was to have a solid set on the side to prepare for the real work I guess. Would there be a way to fix the eye holes for the bolts?

There's the 2 at the ends, but I was just gonna install a quick release, and I'm not too sure but there's 1 eye under each headlight (thought is was weird) the are torn, and 2 more torn on the top, should I just do the epoxy method on those too?
Oh, the bumper push on pieces...
The quick release will take car of the corners. I would not worry about the headlight ones, the top holes that are mounted to the rad support? Make sure you have 2 on each end and one in the middle, should be ok. epoxy probably wouldn't hold those, you'd want fiberglass if you are intent on repairing it

Yeah, ohkay. That's what I've made sure of. The 2 ends are really the only ones that aren't broken. I've had to MacGyver some zip ties to make the middle piece work. Thank you.
