You mean the part where it sags under the tail lights or the center lower of the bumper?

[fastblackmerc]

Yep... that's right!

from this picture it looks like i can bolt a support to the bottom half of the quarter panel and run a support to the corners of the bumper. anyone else try it?

I had mine off a couple weeks ago for a repaint because it was flaking badly. I took a couple pics:

I am sure there are a number of post/threads on a fix for the bunper sag;)

there are a few but i'm looking for a way that would be easy for me and others to do with basic tools and no welder. so far most of what i have seen only covers the bottom middle of the bumper. The sag on mine under the tail lights is so bad its beginning to warp the section behind the tire and it needs attention. if mine is doing it at 7 years old with 72k on it everyone else with a panther cant be too far behind.

^^^ OK! I understand, just install a Pro Gaurd and that will fix it.(with a little help)

[russell072009]

pro gaurd won't fix that. it would have about 4 years ago but its too late for that now.

[Mercguy04]

Trvais has a fix that may be just what you need.
His will address some of the problems and I would think he may have some
suggestings for the "Taillight" problem. "Musclemerc" Give him a shout.
I would be interested in seeing what he might have to say about this problem.

[russell072009]

i asked him already. his fix is for the middle of the bumper. that will work if your cover isn't sagging yet but for me ... well it's time fore a more aggressive approach.

If this is true, it is hard to beleive this car has only 45K miles.
This looks terrible, this is what you are talking, Right?

it looks like the cover was streched from wind drag once you strech it that bad i dont think you can fix it.

[russell072009]

the cover is only plastic so if you can warm .... let me say that again WARM the plastic up enough to make it soft with out damaging paint it should reform if you brace it well enough. get in touch with musclemerc. he makes a brace for the center that should fix you up if you don't think you can fab something up yourself.

mine is not bad under the center like that one. my issue is the gap below the tail lights is starting to show up pretty bad.

Or you can use a zip tie or two, and fix it real easily.
