Default Front bumper hanging - 10mm bolt

Hi all. My front left bumper is now hanging a bit and it looks like the tab where the 10mm bolt connects to the bumper was ripped. Do you think if I use something like JB Plastiweld I can put it back together?

if you are going to try that, I would take the bumper off completely to do it right. And if you take the bumper off, you may as well try and clean up your headlights at the same time.

LOL! Actually that was my plan. I got the Maguires 2 Step Headlight Restoration kit and was going to work on it this weekend but now am dropping car off at dealer to have the CSP on the Engine Misfire done.

I just used that kit for the first time a few weeks ago. I must say it was the easiest kit I've used and had the best results. My IS was in the garage for the weekend so I did it Saturday morning. It didn't go out into the sun until Monday so the clearcoat had plenty of time to cure. I didn't pull the bumper off to do mine, but pulled the rubber off the top and taped with masking tape the painted areas near the headlights. My wife wanted new headlights because the old were starting to yellow. Didn't want to drop the $$$ on OEM HID replacements, so gave this a try first. Glad I did!
