okay so i live in wisconsin and it just snowed like four inches yesterday, my dad was backing my car out of the driveway because it was in his way and as he was backing out my lip caught the snow at the end of the driveway and ripped it off my bumper, also ripping out my fog light housing and making a nice hole, does anyone have a front bumper off a 99-00 civ that i can buy? id post in classifieds/wtb but it wont let me. thankss!!

 

come on now someone out there has to have a bumperr!

 

look on craigslist or go to junkyards...or last resort is ebay you can even have them painted before they ship

 

ebay, i got one for $89 BRAND NEW, and had to paint it, put it on and it looked great

 

certifit.com. check and see if there is one near you. but they don't ship so you would have to drive there. its either gonna be 36.75 or 47.78. its got both prices listed and i'm not sure which one you actually pay

 

well if it just cracked your bumper up alittle just take off the bumper cover and clean the back side of the plastic and use some ruff 30-80grit sand paper and then clean the area again and put some tape over the front of the bumper cover to hold it level and keep any glue from seeping thru the cracks, now use some epoxy for plastic and put it all around the cracked area and let it dry. and after its FULLY dry just remove the tape off the front and slap the bumper cover back on

 

I think he said it ripped a hole in it. But if it was just a crack wouldn't you want to sand the crack from the front side. Sanding each side toward the other in kinda like a small v shape then fill with epoxy. Then you can sand the front smooth and paint it and you wouldn't be able to see the crack from the front

 

no i wouldnt sand the front. by sanding the back area your giving the epoxy alot of area to grip. so from the outside the paint just looks like a small crack...

and tho he said it ripped a hole.... he has the pieces still by taping them inplace and then glueing it it will hold....
its not a perfect fix BUT it will keep your car from looking like crap really quickly.

 

I agree if u just want to fix it for the time being but if you want to keep that bumber and have it look like it was never wrecked you have to do the front. You can do the back if you feel like it needs more.

 

well for paint worth.... epoxy wont work well on the front!
