That's definitely making it look better. Or worse. Yeah, so duct tape doesn't really work with cars.

At that point I think I'd just give up and rock it without a bumper. Or you know, actually fix it properly.

Exactly! Even go to the junkyard and get one that's a different color for gods sake. This just looks awful and pointless.

Even without the bumper it'd be better!

I sure old Sunfires are more than common in junkyards. Just pick up a used bumper.

Yup a junkyard bumper in the wrong colour with some scratches and stufd would almost be free and like 30 mins to swap it out. Some people...

Exactly. Even if the color doesn't match does it matter at this point? It'd look better than this!

Also, pick n pull yard is 10 minutes from here, so....

People don't make sense

I sooooo wish I had a sr20...Picture this, a guy learning to be a mecanic at school drove a blue Sunfire like this. He modified the car with m3 mirrors and a few chrome parts....but that ain't the bad bit. HE FUCKIN' PUT SOME EXPENDING FOAM ON EVERY GAP HE COULD FIND AND WHEN I MEAN GAP, I MEAN THE NORMAL GAP BETWEEN THE BUMPER AND THE BODY, BETWEEN THE TRUNK AND THE BUMPER/BODY AND ON AND ON....needless to say...the guy wasn't a good mechanic...

if you look at the lower bumper it looks like it already is a slightly different color, so that car has already gotten a new bumper once which means one of two things
