Need a new back bumper

[Fi-Alero]

Well, I just backed into my friend's eclipse and it really f**ucked my back bumper up. I was wondering if anyone on here is selling one for an oldsmobile alero 2000 or can give me advice on fixing it.

Psshh thatll buff out.... I think the rear quarter is the part you should be worried about, and i would just replace the rear. See if you can find a junk yard bumper and get that youll save a butt load on shipping and you have it right then to get working on it.

[Fi-Alero]

Painting it will be a butt-load too :(. Unless I could do it myself lol.

[pimpalero2003]

u neee more then a bumper but sand down the bad areas on the bumper then use plastic filler

[zoL]

Say someone hit it and collect some insurance?

[Fi-Alero]

The bumper and tailight is the only thing messed up on the car. Im going to try to find anotther bumper and a new taillight cover. But should i paint myself to get it painted professionally? And I do think my parents will go for lieing to the insurance company Zol lol. And I only have liability insurance.

[TheMeaningOfLife]

No dude, your rear quarter is dented pretty good, use bondo or what not for that and just get a new rear bumper. seal the tailight with clear silicon is you wanna go cheap.

[Fi-Alero]

the taillight is chipped completely off on the bottom, so its gonna take a new cover which shouldnt be much. And what do you mean rear quarter?

[TheMeaningOfLife]

The metal part, the corner thats messed up, ill try and get a pic up of what i mean

[Fi-Alero]

I htink i Know what you mean, That really doesnt bother me, anyway i can get the dent out myself or will something have to be used?

[TheMeaningOfLife]

If you can get it popped out the more power to you will need to do some bondo work. Make sure all the mounts for the bumper are ok to cuz it looksa a tad pushed back.

[Fi-Alero]

Ok, I have no clue on how to use bondo or how it would fix the dented corner. Im going to go to a junkyard within the next few days and look for a bumper. But this will still involve painting which is extremely costly. should I try fixing the taillight now, or will it be fine if it rains?

[FrankTheTank]

you might as well just bite the bullet and buy a new tail light off ebay, you're not gonna get a new cover for it. a body shop could probably fix the bumper, but a junkyard might sell u one for cheaper, painting it shouldnt be TOO expensive. the rear quarter is still gonna look like poop though. u need to take it to a body shop and let them fix it all, it sounds like u have no idea how to fix any of it.

[Fi-Alero]

Yes i have idea on how to fix it, just right ow im so nerved-up. Going to cost months of work just to fix mine and his car though.

[alerored04]

like frank said, you cant get a tailight cover by itself, they are sold as an assembled unit.

[tonyboi261]

that tailight isnt cheap your looking at atleast 50 bucks for the taillight alone

[Fi-Alero]

I'm not worried about the tailight, I'm going to silicone it up until I can pay to get a new one, it doesnt look too bad. Im more worried about the rear quarter and the bumper, but I am going to try yall's advice. Thanks for all of you guy's help.

[MixtapeMessiah]

look at ur local junkyards for those pieces, if they charge too much just wait til they close and rob them haha

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Or pay for his car and get over your car looking like that, just seal up the tailight and call it good until you have the money to fix it later on.

At least it's a good learning experience. Do all the body work yourself and try and find a buddy who'll let you use epuipment to paint it up.

Still sucks though.
