flimsy 2011WRX bumper

[sc0ter13]

Hi,
new here to this thing, but I have a 2011WRX that has about 20k miles on it, and yes I drive the thing off road. I previously had a 2002 WRX that I got 260k miles on it before I sold it.

I am writing to see if any of you have a solution to the flimsy front bumper. I was driving on this road and the nose end of my car scraped some dirt and I pretty much popped out the front bumper- I never did anything like this with my old car which supposedly has the same ground clearance.

I just would like to keep this thing from falling off while driving and or have a more longterm solution because I hope this car is tearing up the dirt roads around colorado and utah for years to come. I will try to post pictures of my current duct tape job.

thanks
cp

I have the same problem on my 08.... Busted one of the support tabs - the passenger lower one and lost some plastic rivets ice racing last winter and the thing is flimsy as all hell. I replaced the plastic rivers, but the mount is still broken. Haven't gotten to devising my own rugged solution yet though
