powershift46 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I managed back my ride up into a car that was parked in my drive way. (What a dumb butt) Anyway I put a permanent crease in the rear bumper cover. It does not appear to be cracked and it looks like most of the damage can be buffed out. Is there any way to repair the crease? Can you use bondo or apply heat to the bumper cover to get back to it orginal shape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually willing to discuss that in detail on a performance car. Ask for an estimate. If it's too expensive, at least you know exaclty what to try if you try it your self and what it will cost if doing it right is more involved than you feel comfortable with ...just a thought.

JeffIsHereToo Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Don't feel bad, I did worse! I backed into a nice BIG rock! I agree take it to a the best body shop in your area and all will be well. See! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TClark1976 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 +1 on all guidance given to this point. I have worked with the plastic that our Covers are made out of. Have been to the 3M Plastics/Repair classes that my Job put me through. . . . . Yes you can apply heat and a good majority of the damage may simply come out with patience. Too much heat and you may, in affect, melt the plastic and then your SOL. Body repair techs have the technique down to an art, and I'd pretty much rather trust them with the outcome than risk it on my own. . . And I've even been to the classes and actually done the repair myself. Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
