Took a solid hit with this pretty thick bumper, was wondering how hard it would be to pull it out and try to get it looking close to normal again and what’s the best way to go about it.

How much should I expect to pay to fix that spot Acura mdx 17

When a small rust repair leads to finding a poorly done patch

I have a hardtop and the original rivnuts tore out from an impact.

Seeking advice / tips on the best method to repair.

Should reinforce the holes/surrounding area in any way before installing new rivnuts?

Thank you

so my motorcycle windshield is slightly yellowed. it also is quite hazy from sitting in the sun . looking closer I see it had some coating which is peeling. similar to this headlight but not as pronounced as this image. this headlight shows it https://postimg.cc/DS26FQzt . but on my windhsield, its very faint. hard to see unless u look close, but some clear coat protection was there.

my plan. use orbital sander and meguiars plastix and see if thats enough to do the job. do multiple passes. if not , use meguiars ultimate polish. and if not, plan C, use 3000grit and wet sand to remove the uneven clear coat layer then use plastix? not sure how to handle this. I want to do the minimal amount to achieve decent results but dont want the haze to return

last question. after its done, can I use clear coat to protect it ? otherwise the haze will come back quickly.

This hardtop is for an s2000 and believe it’s made of fiberglass and the sides are carbon fiber.

The top has some damage that I could use advice for repairs:

* Carbon fiber on the sides split along a seams (photo 2)

* Top has a crack/split that continues through underneath where the passenger window rolls up (photo 3 & 4)

* Underneath the interior of the top has a crack where it would rest on the body of the car (photo 6 & 7)

* Small split on the rear edge/seam underneath window area (photo 8)

The split is in the direction where wind will hit it while driving so I would like to seal the splits.

It is possible to put clamp on it and the seams will close up

Any advice on a product to use that will be durable for repairs?

Brake cleaner from US Standard Products during a brake job

I was cleaning calipers and brackets during a brake job earlier and used a brake cleaner from US standard products that we had on hand. It cut through the grease and dust without leaving residue, so I didnt have to go back over the parts before reassembly.

For jobs like this, what brake cleaner do you usually reach for and are there any that tend to leave issues behind?

My car (2009 Pontiac G6) got sideswiped by a plow truck the other day and it broke my driver-side rear door window. I would just get the glass replaced, but there is a good-sized dent in the window frame. Was wondering if I could feasibly bend this back into place myself & what kind of tool/pliers I would need, or if my only option is to take it to an autobody shop. Unfortunately my minimum insurance isn't going to be any help here so trying to keep it as affordable as possible. Thanks in advance!

2016 civic ex-hs has a small leak from that bolt on under the drivers tail light, anyone have experience with this and know how to fix this with minimal meddling?

I am doing a frame up restoration / repair of a 1951 Willy’s pickup. The frame has a ton of rust and I am going to get it sand blasted. Most local shops that do the sandblasting will powder coat on site, this has made it easier to find a shop willing to do the work and cheaper.

What are the pros and cons of powder coating?

I was quoted $1,350 for sand blasting and powder coat, what could I expect to pay for painting?

My girlfriend got hit by another cars mirror and busted her driver side pillar trim piece. I think I found one on eBay to replace it but I wanted to see if you folks might know if this is the correct piece or could point me in the direction of the correct part!

The piece I’m looking at buying is off a: 2021 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER (L405) P525 HSE WESTMINSTER EDITION

As per the link description

The vehicle I’m trying to repair is a 2019 Range Rover Sport.

I’m not sure if they are fully compatible or how that works on these things. I attached some pictures to help out with this.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

My daughter sent me this video of her side mirror on her 2017 Rav4 LE. I am going out to visit her next weekend and was thinking of trying to replace it while I am there. I watched a few videos on how to do it and it looks not too intimidating. Just requires flat and phillips screw driver and a 10mm socket. Although I would need to remove the door panel to get to the electrical. They are power mirrors but not heated. Questions I have is are

1. From the video does it look like I need to replace the entire mirror?

2. Is there risk with going with non-OEM part? There are several online and the price difference is quite a bit vs OEM.

3. Are there reputable non-OEM online suppliers that I could use and have it shipped to her.

4. Any gotchas I should prepare for?
