i recently messed up my front bumper by hitting a scrap tire on the road. It was too dark for me to see from far away so i couldnt avoid it. After fixing this i guess i have to invest on better headlights for my car. What im asking is suggestion on how to fix it or what is the best way to replace it and maybe get something better. Just asking for people opinions. thanks

Is it actually cracked? Or is just the paint cracked for some reason?

Regardless, call up your insurance and explain. Should cover it and you'd just be responsible for the deductible.

What do you have for headlights? If they're OEM, you may want to look into some Silverstars or something. They'll help.

thats not too bad a all, i can't see it being more then a hundred bucks at a reasonable place.

it doesnt look cracked from far but it actually is. and i really dont wanna do insurance because of the deductible and the insurance rate going up. like 500 dollar deductible when i think the whole part will be cheaper. makes no sense. im thinking like a front lip. i saw some in ebay

Just get an OEM front lip, you will never see it

i was wondering how that works...it just goes over the original bumper correct? and how hard is that install?

Yea i just goes over the bottom of the bumper, it is not super hard. You have to cut some holes in the bumper for the OEM one but there are lines on the back of the bumper that tell you where to cut, some lips like the RS1 you dont have to cut the bumper they are just held on by screws on the end and double sided tape.
