busted bumper.

Man I got tagged by a Fing piece of 1"x1" on I75 today. It hit me low on the passenger side of the front bumper near the mesh piece.

Not sure if these can be fixed by a body shop. Anyone know? Or know where i can find the cost of the bumper online?

What pisses me off the most is if I had not stayed late at the office this probably wouldn't have happened. Mother F'er.

why dont you look into an aftermarket sedan front bumper instead of a stock one. this gives you an excuse to buy a better looking one.

I might if it comes pre-painted. I do not want the expense of the bumper then another 350 for paint. I am considering it since the OE bumper might run around 280 + 350 for paint.

Lokey has a front available now for 273 + tax.

Thanks for the help Dan.

I'm sorry to hear about your bumper, Noah. Depending on the damage, it may be repairable. There are several plastic epoxy type fillers that bond and fill holes or cracks and can be sanded and repainted. Take it by a good bodyshop and ask them.

Do you know the part number?

As far as a newbumper, try these links, but shipping may be cost prohibitive.

I'm really sorry to hear about that, Noah. That really sucks.

I agree with Daniel though... This might be the time to get a new sexy front bumper.

Yeah I need Moises to chime in and give me some direction on where he shopped for his sedan bumper.
