Default bumper problems - help!

my bumper got caught on a curb today and was partially pulled off. some of the plastic supports/tabs were broken. any idea on what repairs would need to be made and how much it would cost? the bumper is still in good shape so i'm guessing a body shop could reattach it?

Default Depends on what "supports/tabs" you speak of... (more)...

If you're talking about the black, lower piece, that will go back on w/ a forceful hand & some patience... even if some of the clips are busted.

If the sides of your bumper pulled away & are hangin' in the breeze, fear not. As long as the black plastic carriers are still attached to the fenders, your bumper should clip right back on w/ an 'in & up' push. Tough to explain - surely there's a writeup about it here somewhere.

If the carriers are all busted up, you musta' done sumpin' nutty. Regardless, as long as the bumper itself isn't torn or cracked, it'll pop back on w/ a minimal amount of fuss.

Good luck.
