Bodyshop Experts What do you think about this bumper?

I've been searching for a used OEM bumper cover since mine got hit. I haven't found many on the forum, but there's a couple on ebay. I'm looking for spend only around $200 or so on the bumper or else I'd buy a new one from the dealership. This one has some damage, but could you estimate about how much it would cost to fix? It looks like some bondo would fix er up but I may be wrong. It will be repainted obviously.

haha the eBay ad keeps saying we, we, like a reputable company, but the kid taking the picture is shirtless and lives in a trailer park. Should be on an episode of COPS.

I say you can do better.

that would be the rear bumper near the license plate mount and it looks like it got hit by someone's front license plate

IMHO, it will cost as much to fix this as it would to by a new one and paint it.

Shipping will also be high as it is a light, yet large and bulky item.

I just had my front bumper replaced and painted. The bodyshop got the new bumper for $350 new.
