    Is this bumper cover worth fixing?

    Yes, the cover is filthy and so are the lights etc. --- not sure if any of it is worth cleaning just yet.

    There are some "meaningful" scratches I want to show you in addition to the normal highway crap here, and on top of the cover one area has been hit down or something. It actually has a crack.





    Close-ups of the area that has the crack on top:





    One bumper blinker also has a broken tab and today when removing it to check it out the clip the screw screws into disappeared --- I guess the dealer has the clip?

    Sort of looking for an excuse to convert to 92-93 front end even thought that'll cost more than to just replace the cover and one light.

    That crack and the scrapes could easily be fixed .. but with the labor a shop would charge you,
    not to mention a re-spray .. you might be better off waiting on a nice 92/93 front bumper.

    I know that I was ..

    A Hui Hou !!!

      I do my own work so fixing it is very convienient/cheap. That thing is barely damaged....

          I see. Fix it myself, hmm. Any pointers on where a newbie would start? Got links? Websites? Like I said, I know zilch.

            claying and machine polishing would reduce the appearance of the scuffs, but yes it would still need paint to look better. i don't recall the tab being a separate part on the bumper light, but I have a '92 so I know that's a bit different.

                Buying a new one is probably out, if I can fix this one.

                Again: Any pointers on where a newbie would start? Got links? Websites? Like I said, I know zilch.
