new front bumper?

[mikeylikesit]

does anyone know where i would be able to get a new front bumper for a genII or if anyone knows of anyone thats parting one out?
i was parked infront of my friends house last night and we got back around 3am. i look at my car and noticed that the front end looked odd. then i check it out and i guess someone slid into my car cuz the front is cracked above and below the foglight hole, the foglight was broken on the ground, and the side of the bumper was pushed out.. the headlights were fine except for the bracket holding it in is all cracked. and the front of my hood on the drivers side is pushed in a little. :cry:
so if anyone could help me out that would be great!
i just need the cover i guess for the front and the lack plastic that the healights bolt onto.

i'm not too sure how many actually end up in the junkyard up here, not too many around. but i will check ebay regularily for one. thanks tho.

would i be able to just buy that fiberglass stuff and the resin then try to fix the cracks with that? or would it not be strong enough to hold?

oh and another thing.. would i be able to transfer the black plastic part to hold the headlights in off of a SLO? i still have my old one sitting on the driveway.

The one you need is going to have to come off a Sable. The SLO one won't fit right.

I'll have to look in the garage- there is a special bumper repair epoxy that the body shop told me to use when I fixed my tear- works awesome- tape up the front of the bumper where it needs to go so it holds, squeeze out the 2-part epoxy, mix, and slather it on. Repairs from the back of the bumper cover... I'll look tonight...

Here it is

This is the stuff I used- I bought it at a FinishMaster paint supply store. It was like $8.00 for the 1 oz dual tube.

My sho is the king of hit and runs, bought the car 4ish months ago and I have already had 2 hit and runs. one I was able to get out with some good turtle wax polishing compound and the other is like on the front drivers corner, whoever hit me scraped me HARD...Hit and run ********.......

 

[mikeylikesit]

well i'll try that epoxy and see how it works.
i uploaded a picture of the day after it happened. i'll take the bumper off within the next week or so and see what i can do.

You might be amazed what can be done with some time and patience and a spray can or two... The good news is that it isn't in a really visible attention getting area. Might be OK with a repair until you can find a new cover. Unless you want to drop $300 plus for a new primed one on Ebay right now...

Also check here: www.car-part.com it is where I found my front cover that I fixed...
