Default Ripped off my rear bumper lip!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I was driving on the interstate last night and all of a sudden, what looked like a piece of cardboard from far away , appeared in the middle lane and I had no choice but to go over it because I had cars on both sides of me.

Well, when I went over it I heard a big KABOOOM and thought "Oh SH**!!!"... So I couldnt pull over in the middle of the interstate, so I waited until I could exit and pull into a well lit gas station to see the damage... When I got out, I saw that the bottom part of my bumper (the lip as it has been refered to on this site) had been ripped off from the middle and was hanging on behind my wheel well on both sides.

Most of the clips that hold it on were snapped in half, and what didnt snap, I had to rip off bc I couldnt drag the bumper 20 more miles until I got to my girlfriends house.

Where in the world can I find a new bumper lip? Or do I have to get a totally new bumper? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! [/b]

dude that sucks!! first thing i would do is look under your box and make sure nothing else is broke. you can click on a few banners here and find a new rear lip for a few hundred bucks, good luck

That sucks. Might be a good time to look into getting a lip kit though.

Damn. Same thing happen to me last week.


Luckily someone happen to have that piece here locally. I would suggest checking junkyards, but if all else fails you can go to the dealer.

Like burst said...what about aftermarket? It's usually cheaper than factory replacement parts and adds some personalized style.

you know what, i saw 2 xBs today with their rear lips hanging off, and i witnessed one fly off. i was too far away too warn them, unfortunately. is the lip really that easy to come off?

it got my kinda worried, because both of those xBs were the same color as mine.

btw, xB_stud, im loving that theme you got there

Thanks for all your help!!! I finally got my bumper back on. It has a few nick's and scratches underneath... they cant be seen, so I'm not worried!!!

I took it to Landers Scion in Little Rock and they ordered 12 new clips and replaced it for a grand total of ..........................$5.86!!!! ... it took all of 5 minutes to put on!

Thanks again!!!
