Default Whats This?

Hey Guys.

There is a piece of my bumper falling off and id like to know how to replace it or if i have to buy a whole new bumper over this. Its the plastic trim, you can see in the attached images that the clip broke and now it sticks out a bit.

Thanks in advanced.

i call it the plastic bumper cover, or maybe a fascia.

see if you can glue it back on with a huge wad of silicon or RTV.

+1 for vaughan's suggestion. I've heard it called the "lower bumper cover" before. If you can't glue it back on, you'll have to replace the whole thing, as the clips are part of the plastic.

If theres any place with enough space from where the clip broke off you could use a drill make a small hole and zip-tie it.

I have the same issue and my body shop reccomended that I go to the local parts store and get a tube of silicone. That is what most of the body kits are held on with. It's flexible and holds really well. I did it to the passenger side and it hasn't moved since. And a small tip. Take a ratchet strap and hook it to the shock mount on both sides. Add ur adheasive and let it set. Ratchet it kinda tight ya know. Thats how I did mine. And its workin pretty well.
