I got into an accident and I was at fault. I hit the victim rear end. It look like the victim rear bumper was untouch but it was all me. My bumper has two dents that created a spider effect with my paint. The dents arent really major or noticable but it just bugging the *** out of me.

My girl dad friend in Tracy auto body shop quoted me.

If I purchase a new bumper. Cost $976.

If I role with the same bumper. Cost $906.

It cost that much too because of the bumper has a lot of rock chips.

Any trusted auto body shops suggestions? thxs

 

That's too much!!!

Just get a new aftermarket bumper from Eric aka Klumzyee here

Maybe one of these bumpers: Nismo, Kuruma Z

 

there is a shop in Sacramento that just opened up, my buddy took his Rx7 FC in there for a full paint job, including sanding down to the bare metal, fill in dents or anything, and a 3 stage lexus diamond pearl on it.

only 2300 bucks!, he can work around any deal , when my buddy gets his car back this weekend i'll post up his work and you can decide from there.

lol just alittle info but he can probably do it much cheaper than 900 if you want to go that route

 

i only paid about 650 for a full bumper repair w/c included paint and labor.

I need to respray my OEM bumper and lip. I thought it was more around $400-$500.

 

Damn! I pay $200 everytime I need my front bumper repainted.

 

mine was not just a simple repaint. the whole bumper needed to be remolded.

 

care to share where u got this 200$ paint job? hows the result?

 

Boris... check your PM.

 

hahaha - everyone wants to know about Boris' miracle paint pricing

 

I know of the place... same place you and Kris go. Hell, Andy has had work done there. I think even Leon.

 

lol....

 

Sup Leon... haha... it actually created windows of opportunity for future body work.

 

I was thinking about that after market bumper the NISMO Replica Kit but at the same time I don't want to really look like a ricer. It's nice and it looks just like the oem bumper.

Say if I go that route with the Nismo bumper. Wouldn't I be paying more? or would it be the cheaper way?

 

if you decide to go with the replica nismo bumper, choose a shop that is familiar with aftermarket bumpers. it's not going to be a perfect fitment; most likely they will need to tweak it to make it fit as well as sand down imperfections which are common with replicas. i've heard a lot of horror stories of poor replica fitment.
