This is my font bumper it was cracked by the previous owner. I plan on painting my car soon and i was wondering if i could just repair it.

Get a replacement. From the pics it looks like it was repaired before, right above the current "big hole". If you want to go cheap, find a local pic-yur-part and pull it yourself.

I'd suggest replacing it too. It will look better for longer.

JL_Audio_RS

i would replace it if i had the funds but i don't. i'm 15 turnin 16 next month and i get my license 3 months after that and i'm tryin to get my car painted and back together before thenAnd i only have a part time job that i don't get to work at very much. But if anyone that sees this this thread and has one for sale for cheap let me know.

Ahh I know how that is. Good luck but I don't think it will be able to be fixed without just falling apart a week later.

Ya the only way to fix it right is a fairly expensive crap that is supposed to be the same as what it is made of that etches in and cures that you then sand. it shouldnt cost that much for a new bumper and if it does and you cant afford it get the cover and not the paint cause you will just wast the money on the paint if ya dont fix it right.

The JY here charges $45 for the front fascia. Sure they wont be much different around there.

you'll be able to get that fixed real easy, and real cheap at probably any body shop. my Iroc looked alot worse than that, and i had it fixed just a few weeks ago. i did have to buy a new front spoiler though, there were huge chunks missing out of it

Define cheap.

I'll help. Post where you live in VA, and maybe a board member might know of a j-yard in your area that lets you pull it yourself, with the parts being flat priced (i.e. all seats are $20, mirrors are $5, etc.). We have crazy rays here, and all parts are dirt cheap. All you have to do is bring some tools and pull it yourself.

As far as fixing it, that thing is full of mud, and the first time you tap something once it's fixed it will explode much like it looks right now.

3-5 hours at $36 an hour in a bodyshop is not cheap. Plus materials, etc etc etc.

AFTER i purchased new fenders, and a new front spoiler, i paid to have them installed and have the front bumper repaired. only cost $120 to have it all put on. pretty cheap if you ask me, especially for as long of a job it is

JL_Audio_RS

sgt0704

dude, you can get one for probably 30 or 40 bucks at the junk yard. you could work a little more on a saturday and get that..

I have a bumper in the for sale section if you can't find one locally.

I wouldn't bother fixing it. You can probably find a decent one at a bone yard that is in better shape.

I would put a car bra on it and call it a day until you can save up to get the front fascia replaced.
