Hey guys,


I've got a broken lower front bumper here:bomb:. See Pic.

It doesn't worth to replace the whole front bumper cover. It looks like it's separable from the painted area but I can't seem to find the part.


I see some of you have a stainless bar there. Where do I get that?


Thanks for any input,
Nicky

The 2006-2008 FXs came with a chrome trim piece on that section. I believe it is available as a part by itself. Don't know the part number though.

Yea, you are right. It looks like it's one piece. I thought the black part is separable from the painted area.

Is it this one? It doesn't say chrome though. http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/Item-20-2006-FX35-Base-Molding-strip-p/62072cl70b-1433284-134677.htm

Good idea. However, my lower bumper is cracked so it's kinda detached. I'm not sure if it can hold that extra weight...

Updated my pic for a better illustration.
 
Here is my suggestion.

To fix the separated lower half of your bumper, you can either get some proxy adhesive like this one from Grainger, http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/HERCULES-Hercules-Pro-Poxy-20-5KAV9 or get a inexpensive plastic welding iron like this one, http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/plastic-welders/plastic-welding-kit-80-watt-iron-67102.html to weld the three broken pieces. Once that done, some matte black spray paint like Krylon Fusion, http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/.

Depending on how the fix look from here, you can simply replace the stock chrome piece that you found (item #20) or do the skid plate mod will hide some of the imperfection for sure :smile (2):
