What Lip Kit Should I get to Cover this Up?
 

Screwed up bad today and moved too far forward into a curb while parking.

It got some of the paint and dented the bumper a little.

Are there any cheap lips that go high enough to cover this up? I know an S-Craft would do the job but it's over 500 dollars if I want to get it shipped here...

This is a 2015 BRZ.

have you try to pop it out ? just use a wood stick gets behind the bumper and push it. and use a touch up paint to cover it up. with a lip, your front bumper would probably fall off.

I actually never thought about pushing it back out. I'll try it out soon. Thanks.

A friend of mine once bent the front bumper of his dad's Subaru Outback. His dad would have been incredibly pissed, so we decided to fix it before he came back the next day. Turned out that the plastic bumper bent itself back in shape within 8 hours of the accident. I was so relieved that I didn't have to take off the bumper in order to punch it back myself.

Whoa that's crazy! Never heard of something bending itself back like that. Did you have to deal with any paint coming off?

For the most part, no. The bumper was a darker color and the plastic underneath was black, so it was a little hard to see. More white residue was left on the bumper than paint was taken off the bumper.

It's possible the decrease in 30F overnight helped out the process a bit too...somehow.

Try pouring hot water on it as well. There are YouTube videos out there showing this. Disclaimer: I have never done this myself, attempt at your own risk.

A heat gun would be better and safer.

Or even a blow dryer on high. It takes surprisingly little heat to get these bumpers to "remember" their shape.
@Choco is the expert on bendy bumpers.

I'll just leave this here:

Greddy?

Actually, no.


Heat gun = 400F+ (this is for a crap one)


Boiling water = 212F


You'll never damage anything with the boiling water, but you could melt stuff with a heat gun very easily.


Anyway, that damage is on the underside and barely visible. STI style front lip would cover it almost completely, and no your bumper won't fall off...

Heat gun is safer for you, boiling water is safer for the car. A hair dryer is usually a good middle ground.

bayson r lip kit is an exact replica of the sti one I love mine i'll be ordering some other bits from them as well
