Long story short, I got into a fender bender today and need a new rear bumper. I went to a bodyshop and they said although they'd be able to fix it, it wouldn't be perfect afterwards, and they quoted me 450.

I'm looking for any OEM bumper, any color but IP would be the best. Anyone have one locally or know the cheapest place to buy from?

 

coupe sedan color would help

 

sorry, that was an oversight. 06 IP coupe.



I'm seriously surprised by the amount of damage of two cars backing into each other at less than 5mph. -_-

 

get an aftermarket rear

 

I have a rear bumper for IP. Let me know if ur interested. Send me pm.

 

it looks like your right rear lights are damaged too. I have a replica kenstyle rear unpainted if your interested!

if you dont want spend any money and just want to get the dent out, take the bumper off, use a hairdryer and pop that bitch out... i did it to mine about a year ago same exact dent spot. some buffering should takecare of those paint tranfers.

 

paul at apex autobody in sj fixed mine up perfectly for less than that. i have an ip coupe as well, and my dent was on the corner like yours too. maybe try giving him a call....

 

So far the best I've found so far is 400 to get it repaired and repainted at a very reputible body shop, or 700 installed if I want a brand new bumper, think I can find a better deal somewhere else, it seems pretty close.

Devil: what are your thoughts on replacing vs repairing? I think it's repairable and will look okay but a few body shops have said I need a replacement, don't know if its their honest opinion or they just want to milk me out of a few extra bucks

 

I will give u my bumper for 200.

 

it might have ripples if u pop it out. i can have a new one painted and installed for u for 650

 

i wanted to replace mine as well and had an extra bumper handy, but paul suggested i sell it cuz he could make it perfect (and he did). i'll try to borrow a camera and take pics of mine sometime. the only thing i can suggest though is to clay your car before getting it fixed, that way the paint will always match. i clayed mine after getting fixed, and now the rest of my car looks whiter, but he had matched the paint to before i clayed =(

 

Too bad you arent OB. I got my stock one with splash guards chillin in my garage.
