Couple weeks ago someone backed into my 2004 Acura TL and made a hole in my bumper with his tow hook. I was wondering if you guys think I should get a new bumper, perhaps a 2007 TL base front bumper or if I should stick to the 2004 TL Base bumper? Or if anyone knows if I can fix it without having to purchase a bumper!? Let me know

You could repair it with a two part plasic bumper repair kit and some mesh but I would just replace it. You will never get it to look quite right and the bumper sees a lot of abuse.

It is but you wont have to worry about it failing and spending more later to replace the bumper. I would just save for it. If you do it right the first time you wont have to worry about it. I would upgrade to the 07-08 bumper as well.

What parts did you order exactly? I need to repaint my front bumper soon and am considering upgrading to either a body kit or 2007 style. I expect that I would have to get the bumper,A logo trim, grille inserts,fog holders/mounts, and optional fog lights unless it's a direct swap on all parts?

Make it so

Anyone have any good threads that have the cost comparison or parts list? Sure, the DIY would be great too, but I figure the numbers for the replacement would be more useful as I weigh more options. That way I can know what to buy

I had a similar square puncture wound on the back of my 05.....only I didn't notice it until took the bumper off. The repair job that the previous owner had done looked damn near perfect. I could only tell by the melted plastic on the inside. This type of repair may be worth looking into.
