When assessing vehicle bumper damage, one should evaluate whether the damage is localized or structural, compare repair costs versus replacement costs, and consider OEM versus aftermarket parts for optimal fit and durability. In this case, a localized bumper impact can often be repaired by heating and reshaping the plastic, but if the bumper is twisted or significantly misaligned, replacement may be necessary. The decision should also account for additional modifications planned, such as upgrading to LED lighting components.

Crashed my charger!!π©π©π©Added:
[music] >> What's cracking, YouTube? We back with another video, man. We trapping on the phone today cuz I left the camera at the shop this morning when I went by there.
We back. It's been a couple days, man.
Been out of town for a little bit. We back.
We got a lot of [Β __Β ] to do.
A lot.
So, I'm heading over here to the paint shop and holler at Adam them because this past weekend, man, when I was on the road heading out of town for the funeral of two of my mom's them way, man, a dog ran out in the road, homie, man, and I was in the Scat. That's what I'm in now. Y'all see we in a Scat Pack.
Dog ran out, smacked the dog.
So, right here on the driver side in the front, my light kind of my light kind of caved in.
My light really pushed all the way in and it broke the plastic piece in the front.
So, we pulling down on Adam, let him look at it cuz, man, I was I know I'm I know I got to buy this new plastic piece, the lower piece that's in the front, the plastic piece. It's only $45.
I ain't tripping on that.
And [Β __Β ] that hurt going the opposite direction.
So, plastic piece 45. A new bumper was like 200 that I seen on eBay.
So, I mean, if I had to get them a get a new bumper, I ain't tripping cuz I mean, I'll take the front bumper off myself and take all of the other black plastic pieces off of this bumper and put on there. But, the thing about doing that, I'm going to put some LED uh you know, like the little snorkel pieces that's in the front. I'm going to just swap those out to LED.
And I'm going to swap the side marker lights out to LED.
So, we're going to let Adam check out the damage. See if he think I should get a whole another bumper.
Cuz I think you can like heat it up and push that little piece back out. It ain't the whole bumper that's messed up.
It's really just the driver side of the bumper, but a old dog was in a old dog jumped out there on me.
I running by 70, 75.
I wasn't going to try to dodge that no dog who running that fast.
So, I mopped him.
Wasn't trying to, but yeah, traffic coming this away, then I'm going this away.
And then on this side of me, it wasn't nothing but a big drop off ditch.
Yeah.
Then it was a car right behind me. We on a two-lane highway.
Yeah, that would have gone to turn out bad, man. So, I just hey, man, got to hit that dog.
It is what it is at this point.
But we almost at Adam's shop. We going to pull down with him and see what's cracking.
We going to uh check it let let him check it out, assess the damage or whatever.
We going to fix all this [Β __Β ] next week.
I got to get on it for real, though. So, we going to order what we need to order. Excuse me, we're going to order what we need to order today.
Get it on the way, so next week we can get this. So, I ain't got to buy it.
Then after that, after we leave here, I'm going to go to the shop. Probably ain't going to change the oil in here cuz I got a small oil leak from the oil filter from the last place I took it to to change oil. So, I'm That's why I normally do stuff myself, bro.
I mean, can't even take my new car to the oil place and get the oil changed.
And it's all good.
We pulling up on Adam. Oh, Adam doing right now.
Oh, I got a crack on the windshield, man.
Well, the bad weekend was pretty was a kind of messed up weekend on the slick side, y'all.
Hey, man.
This your ass there.
Yeah, they over here. They over here.
Yeah, Adam here, too.
I already know they probably got some copyright going on.
They got a dog over here. What they doing with the dog?
Look like they don't put the stripes on that MC, too.
Man.
Hopefully Y'all Y'all They got the copyright going on, man.
They got the copyright going heavy over here.
Well, let me show y'all real quick before I had to cut y'all off, man.
Y'all see here, they too bad, but it's pushed off in the door, man.
But, still even got the dog hair in the front.
It even cracked my condenser a little bit.
Man, got the front of the Charger looking bogus.
We can't ride like that.
I knocked the paint off of it a little bit right there, anyway.
So, I don't know if they going to heat that up and try to push that back out or what. But, we going to try to figure out what's up with this, y'all, and uh let me get out of my head. I'm going to cut y'all back on in a minute. All right.
That I probably just need to I mean, I I don't seen online where they pour some boiling water on it.
>> Yeah, no, we can >> And you can push it back out.
>> We heat it up with a heat gun.
>> Oh, you heat it up with So, what you think? You think I should buy a whole another bumper or no?
The reason why I was saying it cuz if you look at this part, this [Β __Β ] kind of pushed down a little bit.
You see what I'm saying? But, then again, if you heat it up and you go to push it on it, I don't know.
>> We can try it.
>> Cuz I mean, I could buy another that bottom piece.
>> Yeah, that insert piece like $45, $50.
And that light just sitting down off in the back side of it. You can clip that.
>> to remove dog hair and uh biochemicals.
>> I'll take it off then. [Β __Β ] that. I'll take it off.
>> [laughter] >> I'll take that [Β __Β ] off. Don't worry about it.
I'll pull the whole front bumper off this [Β __Β ] if you want me to.
But, uh I got some What I'm going to do is >> this piece, too.
>> What that little Oh, I ain't true. They don't You supposed to take that [Β __Β ] off. That come with What's up, bro? How you doing?
That's supposed to be on the car. I mean, you supposed to take that off the car when you get it. I just don't never take it off.
>> awesome. No, people order them and paint them different colors.
>> Oh, well, I'm I'm going to get some new ones anyway cuz I like that to keep them on there. So, I'm going to just going to order me some new the yellow one.
>> Pink? Yellow? We got all kind of >> All right, now. Well, I'm going to get me some I'm going to get me some more cuz I the other one gone.
>> Oh.
I mean, it's I mean, it's fixable, but >> What my question is, should I get a new bumper? I ain't I ain't worried about the rest of it.
>> I mean, I'd say yeah.
>> Get a new bumper?
>> still fixable, but it might not be 100% cuz the way it's >> Cuz the way it's >> Twisted right there?
>> Yeah, it's kind of Yeah, yeah.
>> That right there we can I don't know if we take that out if it'll if it'll come back. I don't know.
But, yeah, I >> piece is down.
>> Yeah, you can That's what I'm saying.
This side you can tell it's kind of pushed down a little bit.
>> I get it. I try to get an OEM one.
>> OEM bumper?
>> I'll try to cuz them aftermarkets, man, they ain't going to work.
>> Them [Β __Β ] don't fit right?
>> right.
>> I look at I look at it see how much one is. If not, worst case scenario, I'll find one.
>> Just get a bumper and that piece and bring to me the bumper and we can uh >> Yeah, I'll bring the bumper Yeah, get the color code match that.
>> And then >> I could take cuz >> paint it, we'll put it on.
>> Yeah, cuz see I'mma order some LEDs. Go over here. You know you can get these pieces in LED?
>> Yeah.
>> I'mma get those and then I'mma change the side marker lights. So, when I pull the bumper off, I'mma put all that [Β __Β ] back on.
Like that.
Like black car? You talking about the paint?
I hope not.
Man, you got the little sidekick out here, man. Y'all look at the guard dog.
We got the guard dog. The new shop guard dog got this song, but Follow him everywhere and sit down.
>> Hey, PCA.

I'm talking about ill. Pow!
I like uh Don't do it to me.
All right, guys.
We got Adam taking everything out. So, I'mma cut y'all back on when I get over to the shop. So, we can change the oil in it. We'll take some [Β __Β ] off of it and change the oil in it. We're going to look up under the bottom and make sure we ain't messed up nothing on the bottom. So, I'mma holler back at y'all in a minute.
What's cracking, YouTube? We back.
We done made it to the shop.
I'm over here.
Man, trying to clean up.
Oh, no.
Trying to clean up, man. My fog light Let me show y'all, man. I just pulled this fog light housing out of here.

But my fog light still work. It ain't Oh, [Β __Β ] My bad. It ain't broke up or nothing. Let me just let y'all There we go.
Fog light still Just the housing to it.
I was just wiping the housing down.
See, the housing ain't really broke up, y'all. See?
I see it flush.
I just finished changing the oil. Y'all see I don't waste the oil everywhere.
Forgot to pull the plug in the uh What do you call the piece?
In the uh drain pan.
Left the plug.
>> [laughter] >> Left the plug, god damn uh My bad, y'all. I dropped it.
But I left the plug in the uh drain pan.
Like plugged.
Well, Blake actually did it. Here comes the tail.
Because he changed the oil a while ago before he just left.
Or he got out of town this morning.
Trying to clean all this dog juice off of this engine.
But I think this piece here going to be all right. This ain't broke. The light ain't broke.
The housing ain't broke.
So, let's see.
This will go back in.
I don't really know how it goes back in there, honestly.
Uh I don't know. It look like it should be right there like that.
There we go.
The fog light Like I figured, y'all see.
So, this piece ain't really destroyed like I thought it might be. It got like a little crack right here, though.
But, I think it'll still go back in pretty flush like it should.
Y'all see the light still.
Still some good. The plug actually is good.
So, it is made in Mexico.
Fog lights in the charger made in Mexico, y'all.

It's just this this piece. This though.

Charger said bogus, man. Bogus.
This my first oil change on this Charger, too, y'all. I normally go to the uh dealership or the quick lube, but listen.
I'm about to be taxed too much, so I said bump that.
I'm doing it myself.

I ain't have no leaks on nothing.
We got the oil topped off.
We good.
It didn't break nothing else down off in here internally or nothing like that. I ain't got no other leaks other than that oil filter was loose from the last oil change place that changed my oil filter.
So I don't put the skid plate back on.
But I got that light out of there. So I think I'm going to try I'm going to see if Adam can fix this bumper first before I go grab another one.
We're going to just see what he can do cuz he told me he can probably work something out with this one.
And he said ain't nothing going to fit better than OEM bumper.
A Mopar bumper pretty much so.
But that's that on that. We done assess the damage on the charger.
We locked in. We got everything squared away. We good.
I just wanted to make sure.
I don't know what I'm saying cuz I did have that oil leaking and I was I was thinking boy I don't messed up and cracked the oil pan or something. You know what I'm saying? But it was just from the oil filter being loose.
But we good. We still going to mob in the charger right now, but this weekend or next week, probably next week, we're going to break the bumper down. We're going to take the bumper off.
We're going to pull in here.
We're going to pull in the shop. We're going to break the front bumper off of it and we're going to put it in here until we can get the front bumper done and I'm going to order my LED front pieces to put on the front.
