Basically, I parked my car at work, semi drove through the parking lot to back in due to construction, and his rear step bumper deal scraped my rear bumper. So you think a shop will fix it or replace it? If replace it, what would be a good quote on a new OEM rear, so I can see how much I should spend to get an aftermarket? Here are some pics.

 

replace it

 

Also, any suggestions on an aftermarket rear that costs about the same as a new OEM rear?

 

Most of them. I know one of the guys has a cs rear in fiberglass for 300 shipped in the marketplace if you hurry.

 

Nacho, to quite a few of us nothing looks better than a OE rear bumper. I hope you're not having to pay for any of this, I'd replace it. Regardless of who's trying to fix it the results won't be perfect like you deserve.... Don't get fiberglass!!

No money will be coming out of my pocket. Although when the insurance calls me back, I'm gonna say when he hit my car, it bumped it into the wall right in front of my car and see if I can get a new front bumper as well, lol. I can't buy a new rear bumper now until I get a quote/check from the insurance company, as this just happened this morning.

 

^ isn't that fraud?

 

Not if he ran me in to the wall.

 

I just recently replaced my front OEM bumper on my 2003 Coupe. I took it to the body shop with very small ding type damage mostly on the creases and the usual chips and high speed bug hits. Their recomendation was to replace it with a new one. In order to be repaired properly all the paint needs to be stripped then dings repaired then prep and paint. In the long run lots of hours $$$. I agreed with their recommendation. Overall much better job. Paint is beautiful looks brand new. Hope i'm not violating any rules here but InfinitiPartsUSA has really good prices on OEM but in order to save you need to pick it up. Shipping is $250 on body panels which makes them more expensive than full OEM price. Rear bunper cover full OEM price $392.

 

Oh, in your original post, i didnt see anything about him running you into a wall :P

 

Naw, he didn't run me in to a wall, lol. Everyone is telling me to do it, but I'm not one to rip anybody off. I will, however, see how much it would to get it repainted as it's in TERRIBLE shape and it'll already be in a shop and I'll already have a rental, so it'd be the best time to get it done.

 

If there's no damage to your front bumper, that won't work. An insurance inspector will come out and inspect the damage.

Someone recently rear-ended me, I got a ChargeSpeed rear bumper, prepped, painted, and installed, at no cost to me. Win.

 

I was thinking chargespeed. I was gonna do OEM rear with diffuser, but it dawned on me that the diffuser will be coming out of my pocket since they'll pay for the bumper already... lol. I'm seriously looking at the chargespeed, though.

 

i got a ks rear for sale let me know

 

Shoot me some pics in a PM

Scratch that, not a huge fan of the KS =\
