Hit a small animal on a freeway on the side of the front bumper. Just wondering what's the cheaper way to fix that section that came off a little bit on the driver's side.

Hi,

Could you take a few pics and upload them for me to see? I'm not sure exactly what is broken.

Let me know.

Hi,

The bumper cover is basically held on with plastic clips and a few bolts. The most inexpensive way I can suggest is to find a used one. What would make it even better is if you could find a black one.

If you can't, the new cover would need to be painted to match.

If you look below, I provided the directions for removing and reinstalling the bumper cover. Take a look through them and let me know if they help or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
