Wow! Looks like a new cold air intake! j/k

Good luck on getting it fixed, hopefully better than before.

 

reach under there and pop that sucker back out. The only metal part you should encounter that would hinder restoring it's shape will be the part holding the hood rubber seal to the top in front of the radiator and it's pretty flimsy so not a big deal.

pull rubber seal off, remove bolts underneath.

 

are you suggesting that the bumper is repairable? Or, is this a temporary fix suggestion to make the car look better in the meantime until I get a new bumper?

My engine loves me. My bumper hates me.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I would leave it as it is until after dealing with the insurance company. It looks worse than it is.

 

It is repairable-- it just depends on what actual material it is as to how it needs to be repaired.. I think it's a stiff urethane-- which can be burned back together, and that works much better than glue--

Once you've burned/melted it back together, you can put a few layers of fiberglass behind it for strength-- sand it right and noone will ever know.

 

SC's are good for killing animals...
like the stupid raccoon i hit recently

this is the damage from the raccoon i hit in my current 97 SC300

Guardrails are good for killing SC's...
like the steel one i hit a few years ago


this is the fatal damage from the guardrail i hit in my 93 SC400 3 years ago

 

enjoyed the story, and the sc is beast

 

Jesus. I was more than lucky in comparison.

 

Glad you're ok Blizzy!

The SC came out like a champ!!!!

 

hahahahhahahahaha

 

welcome to the deer killer club

 

wow.. the pics of the first deer hit look like it just needs an upper reinforcement and some bumper cover repairs and some paint... lucky you...

 

wow, for some reason im laughing.. i think because of the response it received...

 

Yea the front bumper took a bit of a beating but the rest of the car looks fine

 

I've got a bumper for a g20 that had a badly cracked lower valance-- the bottom half was nearly cracked in half--

I burned a groove along the crack, then trimmed excess material from the back of the bumper in an unnoticeable spot, and proceeded to melt those pieces cut into strips into the groove-- like welding-- and melting-- sort of--

After getting the pieces to hold, I put a thin piece of cardboard behind the crack, and used a 2 part epoxy that is relentlessly strong, and may layer some silicone over that for weatherproofing, but you get the idea.

Had it been for an sc, I would've gone more high tech with the reinforcement material, like fiberglass-- The resin is sticky as he double hockey sticks and a few layers will make it strong enough to hold it's shape indefinitely, unless you ram something of course.

A little heat from a heat gun can help shape the material if you need to smooth a crease from a buckle-- and it can also be sanded with progressively finer grits until it's undetectable when shot with primer.

My G20 bumper came out near perfect.

I sprayed it with a single stage in cans, and then wetsanded it to a mirror shine-- looks oem-- (BTW-- this bumper used to be black vinyl/blue paint) I did this paint job on my front porch with rattle cans!
