I have an 04 Max and I bought an 07 Max Rear Bumper since I couldnt find a suitable 04 one. It has those holes ( I think it's for sonar) covering the entirety of it. I was just tryin to find out where I could get those little buttons at or what I could use to substitute for those buttons. I know there has to be something somewhere that I could use to cover them up. The 07 Bumpers are hott, but I hate those damn holes.

 

I hear toothpaste works wonders at patching holes.

Can you return the bumper? I got mine without sonar and it worked great.

Someone on the other .org found a way to cover the holes, search over there...

 

Why didnt you atleast get the 07 without the holes. I read about someone else that did this. You could always buy the sensors to plug the hole and not connect them.

 

spkr plugs for home audio ceiling spkrs you just have to have them painted

 

You know I ask myself this question every morning I wake up... and now I have to live the rest of my life dealing with this... LOL... yeah some one told me that I could get the sonar chips from the dealership or something like that.. but of course i will pay for it.... ill try the other thing the guy mentioned.. i can get pretty creative... thanks for the help!

 

LOL

The reverse sensors cost big $$'s.

Have a body shop fill and paint them.

 

get a new bumper...

 

I got my bumper without holes for $170. Take the hit, buy it without holes, and call it a day.

 

The sensors are $150 a piece.

 

What do they do?

 

They are backup sensors, I got the wrong one originally and exchanged it for the correct one. I wouldn't patch them, it may look legit but you might have minor marks showing where the holes were. I asked my paint guy and he said just get the one without holes just to be safe (and save me the extra $$$ for the bodywork)

 

They make the car go dedededededede as you get closer to something backing up since we don't know how to adjust and use a mirror . That is the one option I really wish I didn't have.

 

Well they will let me return it since I told them it's still in packaging! *haha* but where do I get one without holes? That's too much for sonar though.

 

dedededededede I love that!!! lol

 

where did u find one for 170..

and how much would it run to paint it??? 200 ? 300+ to blend?

 

I got it at a dealer in Dayton, OH. I had to pick it up. I googled it and can't find the link anymore.

$350 to $500 to paint depending on how good of a shop you trust...

 

To Paint a freakin bumper??? Are you serious??? Oh hell no!!

 

Yup, if you want it done right....I did.

 

here is a link where you can get a new one... looks like the cost is $197

You could take it to Maaco for 100 bucks!!! But that would be the equivalent of playing russian roulette though

 

LoL. there is this place I know where they paint and do a really good job. They dont charge 300 though.. Ill see how their work is on other vehicles first though.

 

You can buy a universal back up sensor kit for under $50 off ebay. Have the shop paint them when they do the bumper. Wire it up discreetly, and now you have extra security when backing up from the audible sounds. I thought of buying the kit for when others move my car (long driveway, 4 cars).

 

Some places will sell them pre-painted on eBay. There is a good chance the paint will crack in shipping or install if you do it yourself.

 

How do you remove the rear bumper?

 

is that OEM parts?


and deus i believe you take out the rear bumper after you take out the plastic trim on the trunk and the tail lights.
as for the sides, i believe you take out the trunk carpet and it should have 10mm bolts to it.

not sure but i do need a rear bumper painted.
and the 07 does look nice with the plastic diffuser lol

 

i think u should either sell ur bumper and get ur money back or patch ur current one either way g/l
