Help! I jacked my TSX up today, I ran over somethin on the freeway this morning and now the right side of my bumper is all jacked up. the whole front bumper was hanging on to dear life when I pulled over, I got most of it back on but the right side is still sagging a bit. and the aspec front spoiler near the lower grill is all bent. Is there an easy fix for this?

I know it's not that noticeable, especially from a distance, but still!!!! I know most of us TSX owners want our cars looking the best, help a fellow TSXer out =) thanks!

Here's a link to the pictures if you dont see them below

nobody knows what I can do to fix this?

 

Sorry that happened man. I'd say take the whole bumper off and pop it back on. It would be the easiest way to know for sure that it was all clicked back in properly. Maybe even give urself a mesh grill while you're at it

 

I would assume that whatever you hit caused some of the tabs to bend. You should probably take the whole bumper off and reinstall it. If it still doesn't fit right, you may have to replace the bumper to get a perfect fit again since I think more of the tabs are plastic and don't respond well to being bent.

 

take the bumper off and check the hooks by the upper beam for alignment. make sure hooks on the bumper is ok - if they are you may just need to replace the hooks below the lights on the beam.

make sure the clip (leftmost from your pics) holding the bumper to the plastic bulkhead cover isn't messed up.

on the a-spec lip, just remove, realign and reattach with new 3M tape.

 

thanks guys, from the sound of it...I'm gonna have to invest some time into it huh =( haha

 

If the bumper is sagging, you might need to bend the support attached to the headlight up, so it holds the bumper closer. The tabs on the bumper aren't going to bend much, but the beam where they snap into is somewhat flexible.

I'd say you probably do need to remove the bumper to see what's going on

 

So, I have a similar issue as Bigcal9 did. My front bumper is sagging a bit.

If I were to do take out the screws and clips, and then re-adjust the bumper:

1) What kind of tools would I need?

2) If I need to replace any screws/clips, where can I order them?

and 3) Is there a webpage that shows a step-by-step procedure in doing this?
