What is the purpose of a bumper cover?
The front bumper cover provides an added layer of protection for the front end of your vehicle. It helps minimize dents and scratches on your main bumper from dents, scratches, minor collisions, and road debris. Moreover, these bumper covers let car owners give a more custom look to their vehicles.
What’s the difference between bumpers and bumper covers for cars?
Bumpers absorb impact during a collision, while bumper covers are made of softer materials like leather, plastic, or fiberglass and fitted on your bumper. Bumpers are designed for withstanding front-end collisions, while bumper covers are mainly for enhancing the aerodynamics and aesthetics of cars.
How do I install a car bumper cover?
You must first unscrew and detach any fasteners or rivets securing the wheel wells. Once done, you’ll also need to remove screws that secure the front of the bumper into the car frame. Once detached, you can now install your new bumper cover. This component often comes with a rivet and bolt kit to secure them into place. Insert them in the pre-drilled holes where you removed the initial fasteners.
What does a bumper bracket do?
Bumper brackets are crash-safety components that connect the bumper to the vehicle body. They are designed to absorb low-speed impact, reducing damage and redistribution of collision energy to keep passengers safe. Both the front and rear bumpers are mounted on bumper brackets.
How do I replace bumper brackets?
Unfasten the screws holding the bumper cover in place. These fasteners are often found in the wheel well. Next, unbolt the brackets found below the fender. You can also take this opportunity to inspect your vehicle for any damage. Lastly, place your bumper bracket replacements by moving them back and forth for a secure fit.
