Car Repair Advice?

[zoony]

Well my sister just arrived in town to visit by way of NOVA and it appears she got in a fender bender along the way.

Some jerk backed into her and took off. Her front bumper is smashed to pieces (don't worry, she's o.k.). Worst part about it is this lunatic that backed into her then proceeded to chase her around the beltway. Thank God he was driving a POS and couldn't keep up.

Anyways, it's a 1995 Camaro. It looks like I'm going to have to buy a new bumper.

My question is... has anyone taken a bumper off a newer car, or maybe even a 1993-96 Camaro before? It looks kind of complicated. Should I try this myself?

Also, any tips on matching up the paint? It's a red car, so obviously the paint is faded a little... and I don't want a bright red bumper with a faded red car.

Thanks in advance :cheers:

i hope she has good insurance, and i hope she was smart enough and not too cheap to opt for the lower deductable. if you need help, i'm not too far from nova. i could go look for that bastage. :redpunch:

The bumper cover isn't hard to replace ,but if the rienforcment and mounts are bent it can get difficult.
As far as paint,try to polish the old finish ,if it is in decent shape the clear/base colors do not fade much just develop a film.

Ask PB, maybe he knows how to replace a front bumper. :laugh:

Go to a bodyshop. If you're not Good at it, it's not worth the risk. A faulty bumper could pose a hazard to your sister driving that vehicle in the future. :2cents:
