I park in a very very busy college parking lot and after class this is what I see:



Hard too see from those pics because of crappy cell phone pics but the piece of bumper is pretty much stick out from the body... the other side is fine and the back bumper is fine too (no scratches).. How did this happen? and can I fit it back in or do I need to buy a new bumper

 

try pushing it back in, i think they use press fitting on the ends like they do on the front bumper, and get better pics

 

Ok I'll get better pics up tomorrow, I would push it back in but Im afraid I'll dent it. Can it easily get dented?

 

the bumper is plastic, it will not dent, just don't smack it with a hammer, use your hand and press firmly it should pop back in

 

Thanks man! It snapped back in ! I wonder how it even popped out o_O

 

to be honest someone had to have backed into ur car... It might have been a light tap that left no visual damage but hey it's easy to pop back in LOL

 

maybe someone fell on your car lol. . . . where you located? south san diego?

 

I actually live in Beverly Hills and my school is in Santa Monica
Its like snapping in a chipped lego piece lol I was so pissed when I first saw it.

 

what does mitsu do if you mess up the rear fender part between the door and the rear bumper? i dont think mitsu makes rear fenders as a part..how would it be fixed?

 

I can sell you mine

 

mitsu would have voided your warranty if they saw that. because we all know it happened from racing backwards.

 

what color?

 

if its bad, they have to cut it out and weld in a new rear quarter panel

 

I think they would just replace the whole piece. It's an expensive part because it' so big since it wraps over the windows, but you would never want to cut and weld. My old civic got hit right in the rear quarter panel by some drunk redneck that wasnt paying attention, and they replaced the entire piece at the body shop. If it's real minor then they'll just use bondo, but I've never heard of cutting and welding.

 

you do realize that it is part of the body correct? how would they replace it without cutting out the old one and welding in a new one? its not uncommon to cut out a rear quarter panel and weld in a new one.
