I bought my Fit Sport back in January and since then my nieghbor has backed up into it causing this tear in my rear bumper that looks kinda like a nipple. And on the opposite side I got into an accident where my back bumper's courner was pushed in and a tear just under the indent. The accident broke the part of the bumper that held the screw, and I went on a little road trip and the courner started to flap in the wind as I drove, and caused it to tear at the top of the bumper.

Should I buy a new bumper? I found one for $150 without paint. Or should I take the bumper to the auto shop and get it repaired?


also, hello. I'm new here.

 

Ask the shop, estimates are free. They have the experience and will be able to inspect the damage rather than rely on what was typed onto the forum. If they tell you they would rather replace it, then go for the $150 one if you have a way to get it painted.

 

Also it's just the bumper with any damage....the rest of the car doesn't have a scratch. I took my bumper off my car and have it sitting in the backyard before I decided to either replace it with a new one or just get it repaired.

Also if you live in the hialeah/miami area give me a hollar on what I should do to my car.

my car's all factory stuff....I hadn't had money to do anything but pay for gas

but as of late I got a few bucks and I kinda wanted to spoil my car a little...cause ya know my Baby Blue Stu is my baby after all.

 

if the tab was torn where the screw goes, id replace the bumper..

 

probably be much less headache to get the new one.
then you don't have to worry about any patch imperfections.

 

I was thinking that.


but it's gunna take a little for me to get the cash to replace it. I'm a kid's book illustrator so I'm kinda on the straving artist's diet. And I live with my psycho mom who's been trying to get me kicked out of the house for no reason -.- while my deadline is next week -.-

 

im you can't use your bumper as a roof, so perhaps you should
conscentrate on finding your own apartment or girl friend's
apartment before you do any work on your rear bumper.

im sure your car can wait a little bit.

 

lol...I'd hate to break the news to you but I'm a girl.
