Hey guys, quick question...

I've been looking to replace the front bumper on my car because it has many scrapes on it and is taking away from the look of the car.. How much would u guys say it would cost to just have the whole thing replaced?

Also, If i wanted someone to detail the car getting out all the scratches and swirls, how much do you think this would run me? I live in South Cali in Burbank, if anyone knows an excellent shop please let me know! thanks again guys!

(Last time i'm ever buying a black infiniti, my mom treats her mercedes like **** and her paint is spotless, nothing even dents or scratches it, yet mine is so fragile if someone leans on the car there are bound to be permanent scratches.)

(Edit: I added some links to pics at the bottom so you guys can take a look, enjoy =/)

 

new bumpers are ~$250 plus the cost of paint. A detailer can only do so much and scratches may not be removable, but expect 100-200 depending on the amount of work needed

 

jokerz, just so ya know, there is a shop in jersey called Quality auto body that worked on my car. The owner actually told me they use Mercedes Benz paint on all of the cars they work on. I can tell you this, the factory paint on my car does not look anywhere near as good as the Benz paint. I am thinking about letting them paint the whole car!

 

just buy the 06 sport bumper from Tony at Riversideinfiniti for 250 then paint it

 

Here are some pictures of my car, maybe you guys can see why i'm thinking to completely replace the bumper, what do you guys think? And as far as scratches go, the camera wasnt picking them up so i chose to just concntrate on the scrapes and dings..

The front is from parking at my own house, not sure about the scratches near the corner light, the rest is dirt and rain spots so don't mistaken that, it's just the obvious white scrapes i'm concerned about..




I forgot to mention a hit and run that i had in a pretty bad spot... what kind of labor do you think is involved in getting this fixed as well? There is a dent in the center of the scrape near the protective layer next to the wheel.(again ignore dirt and rain spots =])

and.... another hit and run (my luck? or my area?)...

 

The area of the dent does concern me but im hoping its not too hard to repair and repaint

 

not a bad idea

 

or sport bumper or go aftermarket depending on how much you wanna spend

 

I am having my front bumper replaced and painted (04 coupe) due to a car backing into it. Only damage is to bumper and styrofoam underneath and the estimate is $985. Bumper is less than $300. Removal and replace is expensive.

 

have a friend help you remove and replace with the new bumper and save some money.

 

If you want to go aftermarket and you want poly not fiberglass then look at spending close to a 1k on paint and bumper. I'd go Kenstyle or Karuma front
and slap on some greddy sides at the same time you get that scrapes on the side panel fixed.
