Well the other night around 5am this crazy *** fat raccoon decided he was really bored and his card came up when he ran straight into the front left of my bumper. He was successful in taking out some of the clips that hold the air dam up before he got a fresh Falken RT-615 255 wide print across his dome that was applied at about 80MPH.

I was wondering if anyone knows if those clips are replaceable, and if so the part number. I looked through the service manual but I couldn't find any information on it.

Any help would be great. I did a search and people doing ghetto fixes like glue and epoxy to fix it. I want to do it right and get new clips and etc.

If there is no real fix, I guess it's time to file a claim for a whole new bumper but would rather not do it as it's in great shape just needs 3 new clips it looks like.

 

God Damn Fat Raccoons......................

 

Agreed, this one had a few too many Krispy Cremes.

 

Thats the problem with america today. obesity is worse than ever.........

and now it's showing in roadkill.

 

Did it crack the plastic? If it snapped the mounting clips there are always zip ties :P

 

The lip is fine still. It just broke what looks like the clips behind the lip that hold it to the bumper.

I don't want ghetto fix.

Self tapping screws will fix that right up, son HACK SQUAD, UNITE!

Freakin El Bandito committed suicide under the Azenis. Gave me a sore neck too with the side whiplash I got from you swervin to try and avoid him...

 

The lip was meant to be a sacrificial piece. That's why the mounting points rip off. Some of them can be reglued. You'll have to take off the bumper to do it. The only product that's going to work is 3M Scotch-Weld DP8005. Its tough to find, its expensive, and it has a limited shelf life. There is a place online called the Binding Source that sells it is the small quantity that you need. It says no sanding is needed when using the product, but I still recommend roughening up the surfaces if possible.

 

Jeremy - PM Spins4 - Bill Pettigrew is his name. He is a parts dealer and can send you a CAPS screenshot of what all it needs!

 

I should have been harder on the brakes. Lesson learned.

 

Racoons have been running in front of Evo's lately, even here in Florida.And it's not any other type of animal, but always racoons

 

Maybe we are on their hit list? We need to get on the good side of the Raccoon mafia!

 

Some type of hit list........

 

Unfortunately, you can not replace just those clips. They actually come with the lip itself.

I know this first hand becuase I had a similar incident
