Rear Bumper (accident)
SO.. I was about to back in a parking space, my friend decided to go ahead and drive behind me thinking I was pulling in. There were no cars in the parking lot. I looked to my right to see if he was there and he wasn't. So I started backing up, he noticed me and floored it to try to get out of my way. out of the corner of my eyes I caught his lights in my rear view and then Plunk.
We caught the corner of my bumper and his truck bed. Insurance says it's my fault because I WAS BACKING UP... I think it's fu**ed up, He was halfway in the parking spaces..
Anyways, is there a way to go to get a stock GT bumper painted and shipped that could be under $500? That's my deductible, and the local shop quoted $560. All I need is a bumper, luckily nothing else got damaged.
Thanks-

Not sure if you looking to upgrade, but now would be a good time!
If you have the right part number you can get the gt/cs rear for ~300-350, have it painted, and install yourself. It would probably be right around 500 if i recall the prices my insurance had to pay when i got hit.

even if you went to the parts shop at ur local ford dealer and bought it from them and had it painted it shouldnt be more then 550... i think i got my gt rear bumper for 280... but i cant remeber, thats still 220 for prep and paint, which it wouldnt cast that much for a bumper, especially if it is a genuin ford bumper, it shouldnt have any imperfections that would run up the bill
a little OT... thats why when i back up i floor it, because if im gunna hit something im gunna make it count! i wanna make people fear the mustang!!!
