Bumper got owned, need help
I have a nice little hole / dent in my bumper now, and it really bothers me. Can anyone advise me on how to fix this. Or if i should take it to a shop, or just get a new bumper cover. How much would a shop charge me for a) fixing this, or b) painting a new bumper cover. Any advise will be appreciated.

Do you know the website and approximately how much it is? There is an ebay business that sells these pre painted, it totals at about 400, this is a bit much for my budget though.

RE: Bumper got owned, need help
well i just had my new bumper painted. The body shop whcih is owend my uncle said that my paint it self was 200 becuase its tricor or soemthing chaneges slight color. so the total was 500 for painting an aftermarket one. I also got my hood paitned and dents removed for a total of 700. I dont know if it is cheaper to have a pre exhisted one painted rather than just a piece of plastic.

RE: Bumper got owned, need help
any good body shop can melt that down and reshape it......probably about 100$
i had a similar issue, and it was 90$ to melt down the bumper and reshape it.....cant tell the difference, and it will save u hundreds of $$
