anyone wanna do a bumper install?

SO I ended up having an encounter with a deer a few days ago and in an attempt to swerve outta the way I ended up cracking my bumper. I need a new stocker and the guy at the local body shop quoted me about $1,000 after parts paint clearcoat and labor. Anyone know where I can get a better deal? I need to get this fixed asap so plz let me know if anyone has the hookup. thanx.

If it's an OEM bumper, I can help you install it. If it's aftermarket, it's best if you have a bodyshop do it as there may be some tweaking that needs to be done to make it fit.

Hmm....junk yard? Try hitting up Tony@riversideinfiniti or even Beshoff to get some quotes. I think I Ride G is right though, best bet will be getting a used one in the marketplace.

I would not go this route as Eric has not returned any PMs and has ignored potential customers for weeks and weeks...

Cheap prices in Florida... Cant get a bumper painted for $200 here in NorCal.

Getting a used one for $300 and painted for $500 will put you well under what the quote. There are other vendors that have some offers...
https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...es-225-ea.html but it may lead to a headache dealing with them. $700 shipped with paint is not bad.

Good luck

so I just called my insurance co and asked them about the accident. and They said that wild animal collision is the only 100% comprehensive collision type. so basically my insurence is gunna pay for everything including all damages done to the tires and allignment from hopping over the curb. I basically get to take it to any shop of my choice and have em gimmy new parts for free!!! yay!
