Got rear ended.

I got rear ended by some old lady coming out of a little plaza. Any idea how much this would cost to fix or if the bumper needs to be totally replaced? Sorry if the quality of the pics suck..i just used my phone cam

I have been looking into this for my front bumper and have found that if the plastic is creased or shattered then replacing the bumper cover is the typical fix.

the time required to repair the pastic typically costs as much if not more than the new bumper plus paint.

Sorry to see this happen to you.

Dont even bother you'll never be happy. Just buy a new one. She'll pay anyway.

Also that color is IP and VERY hard to match. Dont just let her off the hook for just a bumper. It might need to be blended into the quarter.

I'd go the route of buying one painted straight from Infiniti.


ALL body shops will agree that any pearl white is almost impossible to match.

Even doing that wont give you a perfect match. Not every car get shot with the same batch of paint.

Mine was rear ended slightly, the guy left a tiny little scratch on my bumper,
I brought my car to Marcos, they replace the whole bumper.
The total was about $1075.

True, but I'd say you still have the best overall chance with factory Infiniti.
