But its silver...
Maybe itll be cheaper to get the new bumper cover and get it stripped, primed, and painted. Not sure how much it runs for doing that, but its just a thought.

Every car thats ever hit me has been trashed by my rear bumper. I think its because it sits so high (Stock height), so the car that hits me tends to scoop under it. Some kids civics hood was all misaligned after he hit me, I didnt have a scratch. This thing took a Lincoln Continental to the ass too, but that left a bit more damage. Its probably about like what you got, but its on black so its very unnoticable. If I knew it would have been that much, I would have taken down information too. I just kind of scoffed and laughed at the civic when it hit me and told the kid to not worry about it (since his car was mangled and mine had just about nothing). The guy in the Lincoln had the gaul to ask me directions after he hit me. I gave him wrong directions, but I shoulda took him for every penny instead. This threads a lesson learned for me - Next time I get hit, ill be a couple hundred richer.

I was rearended by a volkswagon once and it did about the same amount of damage ... turns out those bends around the license plate frame are not worth it to pull out and fix and it was acctually cheaper to just replace and paint the bumper

OOOhhh that was more than a year ago but i think it was around 5-600 for the parts and paint at a slightly overpriced shop... Something about the dents on those bends were next to impossible to fix....

yea i got rearended three times first time by a sunfire his car messed up bad my car find because he went underneath, 2nd time girl hits me from behind she isnt paying attention so when i ask her to pull to the side of the road she runs off, third time someone beeped the horn and the guy behind me decides to floor it these are all at red lights.......i hate people who do not pay attention

two shops i had look at it said to replace and paint just the bumper cover would cost about 400, but installl would be another 400-600...glad i found a paintless dent removal place.

i got rear ended a couple of months ago if you dont remember....

my whole bumper is messed up and miss aligned.. Damages were about a grand.. but i have a hook up at a shop and they are reconditing my rear bumpers and repainting... painting my front bumper and front trd kit, front fenders and doors...

only costing $500.00.. and they do a good shop since they do mostly show cars...
