Messed up my bumper, need advice (2005 base)
Friday, January 27, 2006 9:46 AM
I hit a piece of a truck tire blowout and tore the crap out of my bumper last night. The drivers side has a big chunk missing and it tore off most of the plastic from the wheel well.

A) where can I get a new wheel well plastic thing?

B)I want a new bumper that I can put fog lights in. but I don't want some low lying snow plow thing. Like stock but with fog light holes.

C)Anyone have a 03-05 front bumper for sale? sunburst orange metallic?

D)How to stock fogs mount in stock bumpers?

Thanks!!!

A) I think your best bet would be ebay or a junkyard...
B) I think every trim level above base came with foglights in the bumpers. So if you'd like one that looked stock...just get a stock one.
C) Check the classifieds, or ebay or a junkyard. Or, as a last resort....a dealership.
D) No idea, but I know it's not complicated.

1 the wheel well liner is 3 peices, chech and see if you need all 3 before you order the parts from a dealer, the front splash gaurd for my 05 cav was $42 cdn for one peice prob about the same for the other
2. in canada the only 03+ cavalier that came with fogs where the Z24's
3 id be at the local scrapyards for the parts, if you dont find one go to an auto dismanteler for the bumper cover, usually they sell them with the rebar and impact supressor.
as for the fog lights it cant be that hard. my bumper cover (stock Z24) is coming off to be repainted due to collision damage so i will check out the mounts for my factory fogs when it goes to the body shop.

All the parts you want are here, front bumper is high $$$(w/ foglight holes is $228.95), Splash shield fender liner front piece(should be the only piece damaged) is only $16.00.

Foglights are a little high also, $44.00 w/o bulbs or wiring.

There are several different places online to get new and used collision parts, google is your friend.

Is there any place that sells a pre-painted bumper? I called a couple of local shops and they wouldnt tell me how much for painting, they just said I had to bring the car in. Lazy bums. I'll just take the damn thing to MAACO. Or maybe Ill just get the wheel well part and drive it like it is for a while.

Would the wheel well part come with mounting clips/screws?

Where do I order an LSSPORT bumper? I googled it but couldnt find an website?!?

id try all the local auto dismanteler untill you find one in your color.

The clips got ripped off when I hit the tire. What if I got a stock base bumper online and just cut out the foglight holes before I get it painted? Wouldnt that be the same as an LS sport bumper?

i took out the head light on my 04 Z24 and the mounts for the fog lights are molded as part of the bumper cover, but im sure you could come up with something else if need be.
hope this helps.

if youre in canada i would try monidex or atpack for a Z24/LS sport front bumper should be around 130$ canadian!

btw sunburts orange metallic is a pretty expensive color and somewhat tricky to match
