Front end pop out

Hey guys I'm a fairly new owner of a 2004 Acura RSX and I accidentally pulled out of my driveway too fast causing the lip to tugg and pop out the front (pics below). How can I repair this, either on my own or in a way that won't be a rip off lol.
Thank you!

1. make sure the lip of the bumper is in the mount underneath the head lights.
2. ball up fist.
3. give bumper a little smack with balled up fist, making sure lip of bumper goes into/underneath the head light clip.

if my directions are confusing

go to

www.youtube.com

type in acura bumper removal.
all acuras bumpers clip in the same way.
so it doesnt matter what video you watch, you just need to learn how to take the bumper off and on.

Thank you! I'll try it out.

If it pops in, but the ends both stick out, would I have to attach the ends with plastic fasteners or something to thaf effect?

Thanks again

I have the same problem with mine. For now I had to zip-tie mine until I can find the right clips, etc to hold it on! I am unable to use the bolts used on each end as both parts broke. I need to come up with something creative. I hope you got yours fixed quickly. Mine has gotten worse over time as I should have fixed it asap!

I think the bottom of the body kit strike ground when backing out of the driveway. That's typical for RSX.

Just push the bumper back in and replace all the clips that popped off.
