got a gouge on my front bumper !! Should I order a prepainted one somewhere ( and where)? Or should I have a bodyshop touch it up?
I like the V6 bumper so I wouldn't ming having it fixed.

how much does a repair like that cost?

You might spend more at a repair shop to fix it. I've been looking into replacing mine too because I have a lot of damage on my front bumper too. Only problem, no one has pre-painted Mineral Gray parts anymore. You have Tungsten which I've seen as an option quite often. So I would have to buy one and have it painted. But again, it might be cheaper than me taking it to a shop.

anyone know if there is a big difference between the GT bumper and the V6?

The GT bumper is longer so your car appears to sit lower, but you have to purchase the grill too. GT bumper doesn't fit the V6 grill. Newtakoff.com has the GT front bumper, grille, fog lights, GTrear bumper, GT dual take off exhaust for $499.99 + shipping. BUT...it's in Grabber Orange so you have to get the parts painted your color.

Here is a pic of the damage. I went to this shop today (bumper medic) and the quoted $415.00 to repair the damage paint amtch the area and to clear coat the entire bumper.
They garantee the match and all the work for as long as I own the car.

Hey man, I am actually selling a V6 Tungsten Gray bumper, I can sell it to you for cheap. It has less than 1k miles on it too, it is flawless. Send me a PM if you are interested

I have a brand new PP front bumper from Ford sitting in my shop along with the lower grill, still wrapped in the factory wrapping, they are ready for prep and paint.
