Cool Some of us w/b a dick about it!

Check your YELLOW PAGES for the nearest Nissan/Infiniti wrecking yard and buy a used bumper. Take it to a body shop and have it painted the color of your car and have them install it when finished! Hope this answers your question...Gary

Only in my neighborhood Nanaso! Since we don't have any information about you it's somewhat difficult to help with a body shop!

You can also see if LKQ is in your area. They are the largest refurbishers of North American bumper covers. They may be the cheaper route with the quickest results.

car-parts.com lets you search the nationwide auto recycler databases and I could find only two coupe rear bumper covers. No prices listed. Probably makes sense since a crash is the most likely reason a G will be in the yard. The light of hope is that the yards don't do a good job of inventory mgmt.

You don't say how badly it was damaged but if it was just pushed in without hard creases, tears or cracked paint, you may be able to fix it yourself with an $8 HF heat gun, a bucket of water and a towel.

My wife was using the G and an XTerra attacked so I just did this a couple of weeks ago. You'll probably need to pull the rear bumber (15 minutes) which is documented in chapter EI of the shop manual.

Good luck,

Jim
