cousin backs into your car
source fender an hour away, dude doesn’t know left from right, fender is not there. fender imported from Wisconsin specifically from being a green 2003 fender. $150 + 125 for shipping
the bumper is messed up, the good side:
the not good side
here she sits
i cant get the fender off cuz of this bullshit:
i turned the Philips head and the triangular pieces of the bolt just fractured off.
car parts
i’m not entirely sure the bumper will go back on after the new fender is installed. this could be a problem
I only found out today the bumper was bent up too. I can;t get the grey trim off the body below the door. theres bolts under that thing. its bullshit.

I can’t see the pics of the bumper, but in terms of the Phillips-head, have you tried drilling out the bolt?

Use a cutoff wheel or a hacksaw to make a large straight cut across the head of the screw to turn it into a big-ass flat-head. Proceed to use a big-ass flat-head bit with an impact driver to get it off.
So, like, $30 of shit at Harbor Freight.

If you use the flathead method, you’ actually be able to get the screw out though. It works.

No, that head has tons of material still left to get it out.

Soak with your choice of penetrating oil as long as possible before trying to get it out.
