This really doesnt fall into the Body modification subforum so I posted it here.
Anyway. As some may have read( or will read) what I posted in the Boba lounge. My dumbass got too close to a parking curb.
I can(and will) take it to the dealership, but I would like to know if anyone has ever taken off the Sport bumper before. I am not sure if the stateside bumpers are the same as "overseas" bumpers. But right now I just need a general guide of what to look for. Because if the stateside & overseas bumpers are the same I can order what I need & have it shipped.
Here is the part in question. This looks to be th eonly real damage & it is preventing me from keeping the bumper securely atached. I can get it lined up to where it looks like nothing ever happened. BUT, it shakes pretty good & is quite loose.
Hell, if I can even get a black zip tie around it I may do that. Is it ghetto?..yes. BUT, it works & isnt exactly noticable unitl you take off the bumper anyway. It will work & be safe. So if I have to go that route I will. I canot really have the car down for days. Not atleast until I get another one. Then I will fix it properly(unless ofcourse this can be fixed with factory parts & I do not need to remove the bumper).
It's raining too much for me to get a good look at it right now. I'll jack it up tomorrow & get underneath to see if anything else is screwed up.
Here is a pic of the rubber "clamp" I am refering to.
