[QUOTE="BigDaddyinBigD, post: 429426, member: 17666"] Thanks, you’re spot on. This is my daughter’s first fender bender and she’s a really good driver. Just the day before, she and her mother spent quite a bit of time applying some of that expensive black plastic restoration stuff to the bumpers and flares. She was really proud of the accomplishment and we all loved how it turned out. So combone the two and this is really traumatic to her. I was trying to find a quick fix for the plastic, because in-class school started today and she loves that Jeep. Anyhow, I have a plan of attach to try to fix it. If that doesn’t work, I’ve found some replacement covers on eBay for $80 and will have our mechanic switch them around. Thanks again for you info. ON AN ASIDE: I’m really disappointed had how fragile some of this stuff is on “modern” Jeeps. Jeeps are supposed to be badass and tough, right from the factory. In college I had a 1980 Jeeps CJ5 (very close to this one) and afternoon I graduated, I had 1987 Jeep Wranger (very close to the other one). See those from bumpers? They’re steel.
