Cavalier kicked in the butt
I know this is not an HHR, but I need your opinions.
This is the car we got for our daughter about a year ago, she just started driving it about 3 weeks ago.
This is what it now looks like from the rear, she backed into a pole.
My question is will fiberglass work to fix this or what should I use. I found a front bumper on E-bay but no rears yet, and would like to fix it up a bit before she goes drivin it again. It didn't bend any metal just craked the plastic crap bumper cap and the foam stuff inside, and a couple of the mounts up under the bumper, but it is still pretty snug on the car.
Any help would be great so I can avoid a big deductible. I'm just glad it wasn't our HHR

When I read the caption, I got the impression someone had rear-ended your Cavalier.
Seems more like a fender-bender than a kick, but it sounds more dramatic (I guess).
Any bone yard that deals in late model cars can supply a rear bumper.

You might also check craigslist in your area. They seem to have more and more stuff on there now since it's a free place to advertise. As BB said, most bone years that carry late model stuff should probably have a bumper for a Cobalt.

Go to www.j-body.org, and look in the classified section. I think I just saw a 03-05 white cavalier bumper shipped for $175 in the great 48. I'll try to find the link.
