Front Bumper Shatered? Cold???
So, its quite cold around here, and I decided to take my car to the wash. I get out, drive home, and am drying the car off from the drips. All is well. I leave, go to walgreens, and as Im walking back to my car, I notice the front corner of the bumper is cracked. There are no marks indicating an impact, and it wasnt there when I was drying the car. Any suggestions as to what caused this?
I will get some pics up sometime today.
Thanks,
John
Oh....any idea on how much it will cost for a new bumper?

Unless yours was the one in a million bumper that wasn't made right, I'd suspect somebody impacted your bumper. It could have been a clean right angle hit straight on which would lessen the chance of you seeing any damage as you would in a swipe type of hit.
Anyways, my condolences.

well, it was parked in my driveway last night, and only left to go to the carwash today. The only thing I can remember slightly hiting is a small snow bank about 6 inches off the ground. It was frozen ice, and i was backing out of a driveway. As i turned the wheel, the snow caught my bumper cuz I heard it scrape. It may have been slightly cracked, then with the hot wash, and single digit temps, it probably just took over from there!
Oh well, I will probably get a Certifit bumper, and have the bodyshop at my dealership paint it.

hmm.. not bad at all. actually a great price from the dealers!! wow
but cant believe low temps like that can take a chunk out of the bumper. looking at that picture of your bumper is almost painful.
