Is this front bumper repairable? If so, what can I expect to pay?
I just inherited a G35 Coupe that was driven by a rather absent minded person. They curb rashed the front wheels (that's another thread) and had a couple low speed front impacts, never with other vehicles, but with curbs, lightpoles, and god knows what else .
The car is in adequate mechanical shape so cosmetic overhaul is currently priority one.

Welcome to G35 Driver TWA!
You can cover all your questions in one thread without making another! The bumper can be repaired, cost depends on where you have the work done and where you live. Shop around, visit several body shops to get estimates. If you lived in SoCal I could have it fixed for $300= or less! Those rashed out wheels, wheel repair in your area! Wheel rash costs $50= per wheel in my neck of the woods...Gary

As for the wheels, our local on site wheel repair guys said $100/ea but a body shop said they could do as low as $50/ea. The rear wheels have black spots where the finish has peeled but no rash, I'm assuming that's a cheaper repair?

Check marketplace for used OEM or laser red bumper. Majority of the time, it is cheaper to buy a used one than fixing.
Those wheels are garbage in the first place, I wouldnt bother fixing them. Plus then you would end up with 2 nice looking wheels and 2 old ugly wheels. Search DIY wheel repair. You can take a grinder and bit of bondo and paint to them, and have them all looking decent for <$50. But honestly you should just pitch them, I would just look for used 06 wheels for ~$500. Huge improvement.
