Supporting Vendor
After a collision, a quick glance leaves many thinking they just need "a new bumper" or "a new fender". After further inspection most discover a half dozen or more parts may be needed to repair the damage.

RockAuto stocks major body parts like bumper covers, fenders, hoods and doors as well as the parts needed to complete the repair like bumper fillers, inner fenders, hinges, etc. Along with the major assemblies RockAuto also carries headlights, taillights, outside mirrors, grilles, etc.

Just looking to restore rusted or damaged classics? Check the RockAuto catalog to see if we carry the floor pans, trunk floor, or rocker panels you need to complete the project!

Amen to that!

After a slight fender "bumping" (an un-braked pickup truck in a parking lot truck rolled into our Cruze), the fender was slightly scratched and smudged, but otherwise looked usable, assuming paint could be matched. However, upon closer inspection (the insurance adjustor actually crawled under the car with his camera) it was discovered the bumper could NOT be used.

Why? Because these new plastic (?) bumpers actually have attachment "tabs" and "mounting" ears molded into the plastic, which cannot be glued or stuck back in place once they've been broken. Thus, if even ONE of these points has been "broken" the whole plastic bumper assembly needs to be replaced if you truly want everything to "fit" like it was new again.

Just a word to wise and genuine "Amen" from someone who has sadly already "...been there and done that..." Almost $5K for a smudged bumper!!!
