I've got a small dent on the right side of my bumper ( down near the lower right corner) and I wanted to know if there was any cheap way of covering that baby up. Its not a really noticable dent but it has been bothering me for a while now. I was thinking of getting a section of diamond plate and attaching it to the bumper, but i dunno. Got any ideas of how to cover it up?

post a pic of it. it will help us determine the best way to fix it

 

If you do a section of DP, might as well do the whole entire thing, im contemplating making new rocker panels out of DP but that craps heavy.

I know LMC had a DP rear bumper with lights in it.

 

is a pic of the dent. I'm really considering some DP on both sides of the bumper. I'd look cool, people behind me would hopefully see me better and it'd cover it up.

I'd get some thin aluminum DP and kinda do 2 rectangles and bend them to the shape of the bumper and attach them with stainless steel screws. Maybe even make a cool design outta it. I've been playing with DP with my tractors for a while and i think i can really do somthing cool while also covering the dent.

whatdoya think?

Yea ya cant see it very well, but if you look closely u can see the warp in the metal

 

shave the bumper and get a roll pan!! lol takes care of the dent and customizes ur truck

 

I would have to say that even if you diamond plate over that, you would want to hammer the dent out. Then, I would cut a cardboard template of the area to DP, then cut it out of aluminum diamond plate. Contour it to fit, drill the mounting holes, then polish it up. Either coat it with an aluminum protectant, or get it anodized (which will take off some of the shine).

 

I have a dent similiar to yours. It's only cosmetic.
Put a sticker over. BTW, Desertfox Are you German. (...Rommel, lol)

 

swartlkk, thats the exact same plan that i was gonna do, yea i need to hammer it out abit, but yea thats what ill prolly do. lol cant get a rollpan, buying $150 halos on monday so im broooooke!
