Hmmm... that would depend on what you consider to be "a lot"

I had a few holes torn through on the fender liners, but I just kinda pinched those between a couple other parts and made due. It worked out fine.

You could always get out a drill and some zip-ties

Lol valid point with the zip ties. I am not sure if the holes on the rear edge of the front bumper are used but on my car they petrude away from the bumper so those would be harder to rig. I think most of them there are pulled through.

Any bolt that screwed into the poly ripped the holes out. The tray I bought came with clips I didn't use that seat the bolts so I'm going to see if they work.

I broke it when I was trying to bend it back in place so I tossed it. It would probably cost as much to ship as it might have been worth anyway.

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

See my response to Kuneff. I tried to bend it back into place and broke it so I just tossed it.

Amen brother. That's why I ran to the web to order another. I also feel that if I had a fiberglass bumper it would have been in pieces at this point. Maybe I should consider an aftermarket trunk at this point and steer away from the FG bumper



I got just the one for ya

Sucks that you ran over a tire. Good thing you had protetion under the engine though. Mangled that **** up.

If you have the extruded U-nuts then you can make it work with the bumper still. I made it work with mine even though all the holes were torn out. If you struggle with making it work PM me and I'll show you how i made it work.

lol, I know a guy...




Hope this picture helps you understand what i did

It rips a hole straight out

Cut a slit to the side and the new extruded U-nut slides in sideways. THere is a clip that puts pressure down so it actually stays in place.

For added strength you could always use Gorilla glue or an epoxy on the clip as you slide it in. Just make sure you don't get it in the threaded part of the U-nut.
