From what I can tell, a sagging front bumper on the second generation ES is pretty common. Mine is not too bad but sags a little in the middle. Is there any way of fixing this (replacing a broken clip or something like that) without having to change out the entire bumper?

 

yea u gotta change the entire bumper. the sag is very common. it's not due to any clips falling, it's strictly the plastic deforming over the years

 

I'm surprised this is such an issue... Is no one capable of thinking outside the box anymore?

I'd get some strapping made for duct work and a couple of screws/zipties for around the rebar and it would be fixed in a heart beat.

Not to mention even hitting it with a heat gun and a cinderblock underneath so it cools down straight.

So many possible ways to fix this....

 

Well that's good to know I guess, even though not exactly what I was hoping for...


Yup I've thought of ways of fixing this, I just wanted to make sure it wasnt something as simple as a broken clip or something like that first

 

I couldnt figure out rebar to save my life lol, when i finally searched it i felt like an idiot
