My truck usually isn't my daily driver since the wife works from home, I usually drive our Fusion for mileage to and from work.

The past couple of weeks we've had snow and some slick roads here and there. I park in a parking garage at work and I'm guessing someone backed into me when leaving.

It's a plastic piece in the front bumper. Anyone know if these can be popped out and replaced?

EDIT: please pardon the road sludge...been a mess around here lately. lol

 

Yes, it is only snapped in. Note, that is a single piece that goes all the way across to the other side. Someone once mentioned the whole thing is only about $40. I don't know if that was online or from the dealer.

 

That's good news. Makes me wonder about 'aftermarket' options for replacement. Hmmmm..... lol

 

Yep available on ebay and Amazon, aftermarket has a kit of all 3 pieces. I bought original Ford off of Amazon.

 

Thanks. Found this one as a whole piece.

Sounds like it's time for a dashcam so you can make the inconsiderate, irresponsible as$holes pay for the damage.

 

You could replace it with aftermarket, like this. Of course you'd lose a little bit of protection those bread loaves provide.

 

And the factory front license plate mount, if it is required where the OP lives. Other than that issue, this aftermarket unit looks decent.

Is it screwed/bolted on or does it snap in like the factory piece?

 

Thanks. Since front plates aren't required here, never thought of that.

There are two bolts towards the center, and 3M double stick in various places around the perimeter. Doesn't wiggle around any I can see.
It's a Putco unit I got from Stage3. The directions tell you to bend the ear on the left side during install inward. Couldn't see beating on a new truck, so I painted the ear flat black. Have to look pretty hard to see it.

 

My Tacoma was the ONLY vehicle in a large parking lot - a city park.

When I returned, the only other car in the lot backed into my front bumper.

Sometimes you're just a target.
