06 xb cracked front bumper

[RollinSlow]

I ran into a snow pile with the xb and cracked the bottom part of the front bumper :(..... anyone know how much this would cost to fix and/or where i should look for a good replacement? Thanks for the help.

just zip tie the crack back together and you can rock the WTF style Pong used to sport, and i think Sonny (sabotagexB) does now too.

haha that doesn't sound too bad, better than the $425 quote that the dealership gave me for sure. Does anyone have any pictures of this look or any other ideas? I'd really appreciate the help!

You can always get an aftermarket lip (provided the upper bumper mounts are still intact). Grab a carbon fiber lip and you won't need to paint it. I cracked my lip and bumper mount, so I'm looking at full front replacements now, either a FAB, JP USA style or skyline. Most cost $300-350 shipped but unpainted, and I don't know what fitment will be yet.

$115 for it not 2 bad, looks real sick too. Looks like I have 2 options. How hard do u think the install is on this?

[B0x_B0y]

Yea the price isnt that bad but i would assume like +50 bucks for shipping.

and there is another model that was type 2 check out type 1

its not that hard honestly I found this video: http://www.graspr.com/videos/Fuel-Time-Season-1-Lip-Kit


i know its really cheesy but the front lip part I believe is more towards the beginning. Removing the front bumper is really easy just a few screws and stuff but I think taking off the lip and aligning it might be a tuff part

I'd advise against this lip. I have it on my box and from the start the damn thing just didn't fit. The left insert in the lower grill had to come out because the whole lip wasn't really centered on the car. The left side (driver side) place where it bolts onto the bumper was severly warped, so bad that the bolts it came with didn't even actually reach the bumper. It also broken in several places after barely making contact with a curb. There is a place to bolt it onto the fender lining, and because that little impact, its missing and cracked along the front.

Its not a very durable nor well made front lip,

damn :( thanks for the info I guess im just gonna zip zip zip then

[RollinSlow]

Ya that news is a little depressing but better than finding out the hard way thanks! I guess some bright green zip ties are looking like the best option.
