I went too close to the curb in a parking lot yesterday , the damn thing was too high than the regular ones !!

Gave me a ugly bump on the bumper right there !!

I went to a Body Shop today and the guy over there gave me a quote of a $1000 and went on to say that there is a metal bumper behind the bumper cover and that it cannot be repaired, and he has to order a new bumper ..... fix it and paint for me !!

I live in Foster City and San Mateo area in CA, If any of u guys know who could fix this or if any of you guys could fix it ........ Let me know

I got another quote from a mobile repair guy for 350 for fixing and new paint !! ( I dont know if I can trust his work though !!) Check their site out www.dentcrew.com .............Anyone got work done by them ?

I am from chicago originally and I knew guys who fix this stuff for 100, 150 bucks !! ....... Damn !! I got a ton of rental cars my friends bumped or scratched repaired ! ..... none of them ran us down beyond $250 !!

The dent is barely visible ( but still visible )

Any suggestions guys !!

 

doesnt look that bad.. i think that guy is trying to rip you off.. just get a new bumper and call it a day...

good luck with the repairs..

 

why not just get an aftermarket bumper?
sucks that your bumper got messed up..
but I see it as another good opportunity to give your car a new facelift.

 

you can prob pop that out from the inside... i dont recall a metal piece at that part of the front bumper.... take off your bumper and see if you can pop it out.. prob will just need paint after that

 

what? lol get a lip haha

 

A New bumper is gonna run me about a Grand ...... there go my plans for all the Gadgets I was gonna get for Thanks giving !!!

 

Can someone point me to a website which sells aftermarket stuff for G35's .... Lets see if I can find something interesting !

 

Too bad you are not in LA but I could get it fixed for at R&J in Carson for the same amount as the dent guy

 

Maybe if I drive down to LA sometime !

 

bULL f*CKING sH*T - SHOULD COST THAT MUCH, keep looking around for quotes

 

Take a heat gun, or blowdryer and heat it, then pop it from the inside as a temporary fix. Then when you get some cash together, get a new bumper.

 

+1

I'm also seeing a small metal bracket on the bottom by the screw which can easily be pried to shape with some pliers.

 

a new bumper will cost you a grand? try riverside infiniti.. u can get a 06 sport bumper and only cost ~300.. then paint it cost 300-400.. that's 700 total.. for a better looking bumper too

 

Is there a metal bumper inside the plastic bumper cover, does it have to be replaced as well ??

 

I tried reaching under the car and looks like the metal bracket dosent let my hand in , Im no mechanic so I have to pay someone to get it done anyway.

Another guy gave me a quote for 500$ today, I 'd rather go to RiverSide Infiniti pay 700 and get that better looking sports Bumper CHESTERWANG is talking about ....
