Angry I just found out my front bumper is CRACKED and BROKEN!!!

It is unrepairable... Does anyone know of anyone in the area that sells them or is trying to get rid of a front bumper for an 06' black coupe?

^+1. Perfect opportunity to upgrade. Where is it cracked? Any pics. If it's at the bottom, you could cover it up with a lip.

It is cracked on the very top right under the headlights on the driver side. I was thinking going Nismo. Very clean look not too aggressive.

Now the only thing is to get it painted. The cheapest I got it is $180. The bumper itself is $200..I don't know if $380 is worth it for a brand new bumper..... =/ mostly with the economy these days, that is a lot of money. Does anyone know of another paint job place that can do it a little cheaper or a cheaper bumper? LOL. I am trying to get the best deal..

+1 if they can match your paint for $180 with clear, thats a GREAT price.

but i personally wouldnt bother getting a new bumper. no one else will care its cracked. Look at all the POS's on the road today.

Well to me, I care a lot for my car. It is something that I would like to keep in good shape instead of being like one of the POS on the road. Its embarrassing to me to be a POS on the road. IMO

i could barely stand to see my bumper all sticking out like that.

As a car buff, you have no choice but to buy a bumper and get it painted!

again, that $180 is a good deal!

I doubt you will find anywhere that will paint your bumper for what you got quoted..that is a GREAT price assuming they do a good job.

well the paint job I do agree is a good price. I am trying to decide if getting another bumper at the time is the best idea. Mostly when looking at the pictures you can barely notice it...
