Simple Q? (crash foam)

OmegaManEX · Mar 17th, 2003, 08:53 PM

i searched almost everywhere for "crash foam" to no avail...

here is my question:
Are the B14's supposed to come with crash foam (or whatever you call that styrofoam) between the bumper cover and the metal bumper?
I wanna know 'cause i checked mine and there was none.

Simple Answer: _ _ _ _

come on someone has to know, cause i know alot of you have taken off your bumpers b4.

i want to know cause after my accident and the bodyshop fix, my bumper has been sitting low (1/2 in. gap between the light and bumper) and i noticed while working on other cars that there is a foam material inbetween the cover and actual bumper. ..... is my 200sx supposed to have it too?

omega, your bumber sits low too?

whats the deal with that? my car also has no foam and the bumper on the drivers side has enough space to fit my fingers between it and the headlight.
the dealership neglected to tell me the thing had been in an accident. any idea how to fix it?

yup mine is between 1' and 1/2' too low without the foam, before my accident the bumper touched the bottom of the lights.

That foam IS SUSPOSED TO BE THERE. The purpose of the foam is to hold the bumper IN PLACE which explains why your bumper is sagging. You can get a new one through nissan for l ike $60, but you can get an aftermarket one for cheaper than that I believe online.
