ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Need Some Input on Repairs and more...

    How I should take care of these repairs? My budget is around $100. I trying to aviod buying a new front bumper as much as possible. Also I prefer trying DIY methods rather then paying for the services. I am near alot of car parts stores: Kragen, Autozone, Pep Boys.

    btw my car is a 1990 Accord Ex; silver.


    Font bumper damage with alot scratched paint.


    Zoom in on cracked Font Bumper.


    Dont know how this happened?

    Also the paint on my car seems a little dull. What could I use to restore the shine? Also my ex comes with oem lips amd side skirts, should I paint them a deeper black or silver to match the rest of the car?

    Thanks big time! in advance. I wont be on CB7tuner till 11PM-12AM.

    you don't need a new bumper, just a new bumper cover. i can't tell if your corner light is broken or not, but they are cheap ($15). as far as paint. that depends where you take it. i'd say $100- $350 for just paint, but again depending on where you take it. later.

          corner lens bracket is busted just get a new corner lens make sure the bumper its self the fiber glass bumper not the urathane one is not busted those brake easy and then go to a junkyard maybe if your lucky you can find one the same color and get that bumper cover shouldnt be more than 50 bones at a junkyard then take it to a body shop with the bumper cover find a mom and pop body shop not a maaco or big name shop they will work with you better and help you out most of them arent out to screw you im betting somewhere round 150 total

            I was able to fix the corner lens by tying one of the mounts with stronger metal wire. Also so far from what I gotten, it'd be better to take it to a shop. Hm...I thought it would be possible to DIY.

              it is possible and much cheaper but only if you can paint worth a damn

                Yea i was deff going to say that but i thought it might be obvious.....of course its a DIY project but yea basically gotta be decent with painting. Bondo isnt that hard to mess with but painting can be tricky.
