I think I need a BRA!

My car was wrecked, and you can see how the front bumper ( is it a bumper? I don't think it is..) it was spray painted and is all cracked and chipped with one large crack... Should I try to sand it and repaint it or cover the ugliness with a BRA?!?!

-Thanks

You should try to find a replacement bumper if the damage is severe.
if it isn't too bad you should have it sanded and repainted.

I wouldn't recommend a Bra for your car, they can trap dirt and moisture underneath and cause your hood and fenders to rust.

if it is sanded and re painted it will have a nice CRACK in the lip, I could always putty up the crack...

I could also buy a replacement bumper for $200, and get it painted....

Hmmmm

Well it couldn't hurt to try a junkyard.
Yeah, you tend to find mashed up ones, but sometimes you get lucky, I have seen a few nice Camaro noses at my local yard on occasion.

Bras are meant for mammary glands only, not cars

HAHAHA, RWDTECH I bought the car like that....

Its original owner I believe was a 50 year old, who was going through a midlife crisis so he fixed it up... but I bought it from a local exoctic car dealer...

So am I the 2nd owner or 3rd?

I would also advise against a bra. you will only end up damaging more paint!

Either try to find a new bumper cover or try fixing it up
