areo bumper+lowered car+curb=opps

well last night i parked a lil to close to the parking curb and the bottom of my areo bumper got stuck under there and now it doesnt sit right...i guess the bolt at the bottom broke or came out of place...yes i kno im a moron
but this is my 1st lowered car. anyways can i fix this myself or does it take more then a few hand tools to fix it...






thanks
-Fred

there's really nothing to bumper covers, really. there is a bolt in the
fender liner forward of the front tires. you'll also see bolts at the top
(open your bonnet), and the bolts on the bottom. loosen them and see
if you can pop them back into place without completely removing the
cover...although it's no big deal to remove it put it back together.

it makes it easier if you have a helper if you're going to remove it
completely, but not necessary. get a large blanket or work on it
on your lawn so you don't damage the finish of your bumper.

if you did break the brackets, you can probably epoxy it together
or just get a new cover at www.outmotoring.com.
