So i was driving home last night on a country road and hit a Possum at 65. Luckily there was no real damage to the bumper, but I noticed some loose pieces back behind the bumper. I pulled out a loose plastic bracket and a piece of hard foam material. Do these serve any particular purpose...should I try to replace them?

 

is the possum ok?

 

I am pretty sure it just got up, looked at the car driving away, then went on its marry way.

 

Actually, he met me back at my house a few hours later so we could trade insurance information...I think he felt really bad about the whole thing.

 

 

good thing he didnt explode on the manifold, it smells like A$$!!!! past experience

 

that foam is probably the bumper cover support. it serves as a cushion.

 

I think that it is the support foam also. It is funny that pieces of that broke off but the bumper is fine.

 

i hit a duck 2 weeks ago..i think the bottom of the bumper hit him square on the head...felt kinda bad.

 

you should get the new G shield, its like a force field that blocks your g from unnecessary squirrels, possums raccoons even baggers lol...
