Bumper Clip Damage
 

I've had some bad luck the past week or so with animals an my BRZ. About a week ago I hit a deer at relatively low speed on my way to work. When I checked for damage I didn't notice anything.

Then in the morning two days ago, I hit a possum, going a bit faster than the deer, doing maybe 45. This time however, I noticed a slight gap between the front bumper and fender on the right side, and today it appears the bumper is sagging a little more on both sides.

My bumper isn't dragging or not cabby hanging, but when I looked closer I noticed a couple clips look to be broken that I think hold the bumper up. I have not taken the bumper off yet to do a closer inspection on what all may or may not be broken, however, I'm wondering if based on the pictures I've attached, if the clips may be repairable somehow?

and if that ^^^ doesn't work... http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95624

Thank you! I had not seen those clip reinforces before, and not have some on order. I did notice the supplier's web page has a different picture now and list that as a newer model.

I have been avoiding the quick release buttons because I'm not a fan of how they look. In the end if they do the job in the event I have to buy a new bumper at some point, they are cheaper than that.
