I honestly have no idea how this happened? Maybe a really low trailer hitch backed in to me? It's been like this for a while but it's time to do something about it.



Will the whole front bumper need to be replaced or is there anyway around that? and no not interested in the hideous billet grilles.

thanks!

 

Hmm that sucks, you can't necessarily buy a new grille insert since the bumper is all one piece.

It might be easier just to find another used bumper or leave it as and remove the grille area all together if it really bothers you.

 

Yeah I wish the grille insert was seperate. I guess I'll start looking for a new/used front bumper. Ahhh

thanks

 

While searching for the grille molding I saw your other thread about this same topic

Anywho another option is to purchase plastic door molding and paint it black (if it's silver) and try to put it over the grille area.

This is what it looks like:



If you can find something the same thickness as the OEM it might work but it would probably be easier to find another bumper instead.

 

LOL i thought to myself "did i already make a thread about this" and didnt think I did. turns out i'm wrong. sorry about that.

and thanks but i'll probably just get a new bumper. if i wanted to put an 08 bumper on my 04, would there be any issues?

 

No issues, I'm running the same on mine as my daily driver setup.

I wouldn't buy an OEM new though, go used or just get an Aerosync Nismo V1 style bumper instead.

 

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna look around and see what I can find.

 

Seems that you could go the "u" edging route.Maybe heat the damaged part..see if you can straighten.Or possibily cut out the damaged portions and put the edging over.
The look of the new grille will be thicker or "meaty"...I think it will look good!

 

Or you can probably take out the grilles, paint out the lower center lip black?

 

This hands down.

The damage doesn't look like much, but it would annoy me.
Take your time, search in classifieds.
If money's not really a problem Murray, just get a new one.
Holla at that Aerosync!

 

just sold my oem for 125

 

Thanks guy. I'll keep my eyes open for a bumper. It doesnt get to me as much as some other things I'd like to finish.

 

lmk if u find a hookup on bumpers lol. Iv been bumperless for about a month now

 

haha that sucks, but will do. im gonna check some local junkyards soon.. doubt i'll find anything..
