Replace or Repair?? Bumper cover.

by **ZXLNT** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 4:31 am

Um due to a small um accident my front bumper cover is now scratched and scraped. Would it be worth it to try and repair or just get a new one and paint it? Also where you get a new bumper cover if you were going to buy one. I have seen them on ebay, and lots of other I-net vendors....

take it to a DentPro or Dent Wizard...they repaired and paint matched my rear bumper to perfection and saved me $600+

No way! That's not the same bumper is it...cuz dang, that's a hell-of--job!

How much were you charged to fix your rear bumper "thealkimo"?

DentPro charged me only $400 and took less than two days to fix...to and repaint, replace, and install estimates were as high as $1200 and would take 5-7 days.

i was a bit skeptical on how it would come out being a paintless dent removal center and being so cheap, but i couldn't believe how good a job they did...they are going to be the place for all of my dings and dents from here on out

Well from what I have seen I can get a new bumper cover for less than 200 and and friend who paints very very well, can paint for less than 100 or so. I think maybe just replace it....

I wish I had one of those dent doctors around here cuz the drivers side of my car looks like it's went through a war zone. Damn Wal-mart people

Damn, that's an awesome job! I probably would've just bought a new bumper.

WOW thats a realy good job

Wasn't there a discussion kind of like this before? A new bumper only costs about $180 from Toyota, well that's how much it cost the 2 times I had to buy a new one :roll:

, and I don't know the exact cost of how much it costs to paint it but it can't be more than like $150. So it would probably be cheaper just to buy a new one and get it painted.

I have hook ups at a body shop. that would have costed me close to 200 painted. For just stratched up bumbers its $150! if your reinformencement needs repacement then obviously then thats more...check to see if its just scratched or if there are more parts needing replacements.

It's just scratched and scraped up real good. Just a replacement and repaint is all...
