Scion Bumper Filler

Many people are unaware of the piece of fiberglass between the grille and front bumper of their vehicles. This painted part is called the bumper filler and it is basically there to fill in the gaps in your front end. Your Scion bumper filler may be damaged beyond repair in a severe collision. The bumper filler has no real function and is largely a cosmetic piece. It may have to be replaced along with your bumper if it did not hold up in the accident. In a minor collision that damages only the bumper, the bumper filler may be unaffected. However, if the bumper filler was damaged in the collision, you might not be able to securely mount a new bumper without replacing the bumper filler as well. You should never drive your vehicle if the bumper has been ruined in an accident. The bumper is the only piece of equipment that protects the frame of your vehicle from getting bent in a collision.
