What to do, rear bumper was molded in, it was ripped off.

[Djroulette]

Just bought a 99' Expedition. It was "decked out" 1 of the modifications was a body kit, the rear body kit was molded in place. I went to buy it and the owner backed it over a parking curb, then drove forward. The body kit caught on the curb and ripped off. I still bought the Expedition because he dropped price to $800. It has 104,000 miles!!!!! Score. Just looking for ideas to repair where the body is torn up. I'm putting a stock front and back bumper to help take away from the damage.



Hope the pictures load

you may want to look at the rear wiper as it looks like it is traveling a little bit too far

 

[Djroulette]

I will, now that you mention it, it looks bent

 

[Bedrck47]

it may just be a matter of removing the arm and reposition it

for the bumper...u will need to buy new body kit bumpers...they may still make that one or something similar and have a shop do their thing to make it look good...thats ur only option

 

[Djroulette]

If that is my only option, then I'll just do a stock bumper and keep rolling. Not really looking to put a bunch of money in this. The interior is in fantastic shape though!

The front bumper will be easy to fix, just replace with a stock bumper. The rear will be more complex, you have two options, go with another fiberglass bumper kit or get a stock rear bumper and if you are any good with body work get some fiber glass and just clean up the lines where it is torn off and spray some paint on there.
