I found an 01 and 02 bumper on car-part. Is it the same thing?

 

yea, u just gotta swap in ur fog lamp delete things.

 

Its the same as long as you plan on painting it.

The stock 01-02 bumpers have unpainted grilles.

 

hes gonna need to paint it anyway.

 

Alright thanks for the help guys im gonna have to figure something out soon

 

How fast did you hit the gopher?

 

 

anyone with a front bumper PM me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What do you guys think of this?

 

 

I was thinkin its a good way to cover up the bumper hole till i find a bumper. Idk if it would look good though

 

yeah its a good way to cover it up for the time being if it was winter....i wouldve been like...go for it....

but u dont wanna ride around town with a leather condom on the nose of ur car....(i know its a bra but condom sounded nicer )

put a little black 3m scotch tape which will cover it temp and look for a deal on a bumper....

 

Not a bad idea

 

Going to a body shop to get an estimate for the bumper tomorrow. In the meantime someone find me a black bumper!!!

 

im gonna need a new bumper also. gonna get an oem one for about 180 plus tax. then paint it and the whole kit

 

Where are you getting it painted?

 

buddy of mine says one of his friends works at a body shop and does good work. painted stuff for him before so ill probably take it there

 

They quoted me $500

 

yea, pearl will be way more expensive. but 500 is still a bit high. im thinking 350-400max

 

Yea thats what i was thinkin. my brother said he can fiberglass bondo that bitch so i guess ill wait for that see how it comes out lol

 

since u are gonna buy a new bumper....might as well try something on this one...if it works out then stick the $500-ish in ur wallet....else u were gonna buy a new bumper anyway

 

good luck with the fiber glass

 

LOL what are u gettin at?

 

 

fiber glass on a bumper, especially in a place like that. will not hold up too good

 

Ill try it if it doesnt hold up ill just get a new bumper

 

You're wasting ur money with fiberglass.

 

Why do you say that?

 

like i said before. gonna chip off and not look right at all.

 

 

the amount of pearl used to paint a bumper is very little and doesnt cost much.

 

the pearl is expensive. its the time

 

Ill see how the repair goes. My brother has done it on his past cars and it always came out good. If it doesnt look good or doesnt hold up, ill just buy a bumper and have it painted.

 

Ha, i was bored today so i reached into the bumper and found the missing piece! Looks like fixing it might be easier than i thought!

 

Debadged the A C U R A, but you can still see that there were emblems there. Goo gone doesnt seem to work that well anyone know a good way to get it off?

 

The proper way to get the "imprints" off would be to get an orbital buffer and buff the whole backside of the trunk.


This is your paint/clearcoat. The surface of your clearcoat is "dug-out" from the emblems. A buffer will shave the surface of the clearcoat evenly, so that the imprints of the emblems will be gone:

 

Installed a new radio, my stock CD player was goin shitty and i wanted USB to plug my ipod in. And a random shot since the snow is finally gone!

 

Stock system failed on me right after I got the CL.

 

What do you guys thinkin of wrapping my hood in di noc carbon fiber? I have a few deep scratches on there that i dont like. Do you guys think its worth it to repaint or the carbon fiber?

 

Neither, just buff them out
