Need Help: Nabangga ang Stainless Rear ng Frontier

[namra]

Mga peeps,

Recently while driving in Valenzuela. Nabangga ako ng motor na dinadrayb ni tatang. Nakatutok kasi siya. :x Kaya ayun nakupi ang stainless rear ng Frontier. Naginquire ako sa casa around 7K daw. Puwede pa bang ipapukpok o ipaunat ang stainless? Any ideas
kung saan magandang dalhin, kasi tuwing nakikita ko naalala ko lang
si tatang (sarap tadyakan eh).

I don't know if they can hack it but you can try and inquire with the Paintless Dent Repair guys to see if they can do it... medyo matigas nga yung rear bumper ng Frontier...

Is it a dent lang or did the bumper get misaligned?

[wreckless]

bumper ba talga gusto mo??

why not try putting a rear bullbar??
i've seen several pickups using a stainless rear bullbar
than a stainless bumper...

i think its might be less expensive than a new bumper.
baka mas durable pa sya.

it looks more sporty IMO :?

One thing I know is that stainless cannot be mended, may it be bumpers or vehicle bodies. Pag pinukpok po yan mas lalaki ang damage. Kung chromed bumpers, pwede pa yan madaan sa pokpok den masilya with black paint. (for future restoration purposes) :D

I'd go with wreckless' idea, change them into tubular type. Mas matibay pa po ito. :D

get a thick cast iron bumper... the kind used in the old F-series pickups. cast iron cheap, cast iron hard.


bilib ako pag mayupi yun.

Yung chrome front bumper ng LC II namin kulay gray na ngayon after the repairs.

Sa library ng UST may libro on how to repair chrome bumpers. It was published in the 70's noong kapanahunan pa na lahat ay naka-chrome bumpers. Kaso sa next Tuesday ko pa matitignan.

Yung sa classmate ko, ininitan yung bumper tapos medyo pinukpok. Of course, distorted na ang finish nito afterwards. Eh, ayaw naman magpalit ng bumper ni classmate.

Pabili ka na lang ng bumper kay kimpOy sa Pampanga. Baka half the price lang.

post ko tomorrow afternoon

namra::: Hi. i dont think kaya ng Paintless Dent Repair yan coz medyo makapal yung stainless. You basically have two alternatives if you want to keep your stock look. One is to repair the said part. If di naman sobrang laki ng tama, ok na rin to. Sa Valenzuela, maraming magaling sa stainless. Mega Pukpok ng latero ang kelangan, and you will still see marks of the damage, unfortunately. Option number two is replace the part...... id go for this if i were you.


:mrgreen: hope this helps
