For conversational purposes -
My brother pulled the bumper cover off on a curb... First (and last
) time he ever drove it.
He sheared the bumper cover bolt hole on the passenger side, so the bumper cover just kind of flopped around on that side. Decided to replace bumper cover.
The passenger headlight is also broken, and flopping around. Decide to replace headlights.
Order replacement bumper cover and headlights.
Decide to wrap new bumper cover and hood in carbon fiber wrap. Seems like the cheap route to go, over having the bumper cover painted.
When pulling the old bumper cover, I snapped the fender bolt head off on the other side. The threads on the bolt were 2mm larger than original size due to rust - no wonder why the head broke off
Go to junk yard, get bumper bolt and clip.
I also found the bumper bar completely rusted through, as well as one of the air seals had been cut in half. Decide to replace Bumper bar and air seals at this moment.
Order bumper bar and air seal.
Realizing I couldn't get anything inside of the fender to remove the broken bolt, I removed the fender and pulled the clip with the broken bolt fairly easily. This so far has been the only thing to go according to plan haha
Here I decide to upgrade fog lights - order fog lights.
Begin to remove fog light bezels and emblem from bumper cover - immediately break driver side fog light bezel clip as well as the ram emblem top clips. Realize passenger side fog light bezel was previously broken and super glued to bumper cover. Order fog light bezels and get emblem from junk yard.
Decide that since the front end body parts are already mostly taken apart - that I want to wrap the whole car. Order sample wrap colors to make final decision on color.
Start prepping the rest of the front side for wrap.
Discover that the windshield side trim is glued in, and that all of the clips are broken on both sides. Order neused trim pieces from ebay, and order new clips.
And that is where I am at now haha
