I was leaving school and was heading towards a stop sign right before the main road. There was a car in front of me. She pulls up and im about 10 feet behind her..I saw her move forward so I moved forward along with looking to see if there was traffic coming. Turns out, she didnt keep moving, so all of a sudden I feel a big thud and I thought I hit the curb or something but it was her car At least I was only moving about 5 mph if even. She had like 5 areas on her rear bumper from her running into things in the past lol but im the only marking on the right rear bumper woot! Anyways, i found to have no scratches on my bumper lmao...or at least from what I can see but I did realize that it's a little bit "loose". It's just the right side of the front bumper that's a little lax while the left side is just fine. Any thoughts on how I can tighten it back up?

One day my bumper had come out of the clip on the right side by the wheel well and it kinda sagged. It was a bitc# to get back in but i got it and it looks good now

You could have a bumper bracket busted or the foam support could be busted.
You could have some busted or loosened trim plugs as well but all of these items are pretty cheap to replace.
It isn't very hard to take off the front bumper so I would do that and see what you got.

I took mine off to do a 99-01 Cobra swap and it was easier than I thought.

well sadly there isnt anything to tighten up really, you can check the bracket bolt tightness, but its connected with pop rivets A REAL B!TCH. But also the stocker probly has more play in it that you orginally noticed also

Yeah see it's not really bad like it's not really wobbly or anything but it does have a little more play than the other side. I have a couple tech buddies that might be able to check it out.

ah, I've come so close to doing that so many times.
Hope its nothing major

Yeah like I said, I was only going about 5 mph because I was basically stopped and began accelerating a little bit and that's when I hit her.

Looks like your car got a bad pimpel
