yeah i do...but cant that be fixed without replacing the entire bumper?

No, it cannot.

it can, but not the way a brand new car should be

No fix would last w/o re-engineering the bracing behind it.

plastic welding of some sort?

Tell me you are not serious...

1. You buy a car for around 30k.
2. The bumper cracks.
3. You bring it to the dealer.
4. Dealer paints over the crack and gives it back to you.
5. ???
6. Profit?

I asked myself why doesnt the Challenger have the problem? I looked at pics, and noticed that there is a much smaller lip above the grill area then on Camaro, so less air to be trapped against it.
There is no fix other then a thicker nose cone. With Team Camaro's quest to try to lighten the car, Im sure that thinning the nose cone was one way. Lighter calipers were probably another way.
Saddly...this could be a cause of the weight loss work they did.

Yea, I would love a little plastic epoxy and bondo on my brand new car...

UPDATE!!!!!

I've been away from the computer most of the day. During that time, I've been informed that the nose on this particular Camaro was a super early production piece, slapped on to get it out the door sooner. GM already knows about the issue, and supposedly it has been taken care of on other cars. Something about a support not being bolted correctly, it wasn't clear what the solution was without seeing the car in front of me.

Anyways, it appears they have a solution. I'm going to re-edit the first post to include this update.


Ok, its a preproduction car, not a production car, as its nto a problem on production cars.
Whew...now fix the caliper problems, and I wont have to keep my eyes peeled for a GXP

that should be easier to read.

There is a white GXP at the PMD dealer on Rt 1. Stickers over $40k with gas guzzler tax and stupid sunroof.

Sure, why not? :lol:

You can not repeat can not do a proper repair on bumper covers if they are sliced, gashed, or cracked all the way through. Yes you can do a repair and fill and bond it together but will not be 100% to factory on strength and apearence

i hope this isn't a widespread problem, that's all GM needs now, more doubt in their products

Read the thread....it's not. The car pictured was not a standard production car, and a support brace was not bolted in properly on that particular car.
