I killed the bumper of my car over the winter. Can anyone give me a place and a cost estimate for a new one?

Do you possess the constitution and faith to go as far as needed?
Default new bumper

$250 for the bumper cover and depending where you go paint ranges anywhere from $200 to about $400 for proper tinting and color matching the fog covers and blending it to the fenders and hood.

Sorry....I didn't notice until I posted that you have an 06'....I gave prices for an 05', I cant see it being to much different in price. paint remains the same, though.

Thanks a bunch. Much cheaper than I'd feared, but still more expensive than I can currently afford.
So much for the slacker college student lifestyle... crap

Are you planning on replacing your bumper after every winter?

I hope not. I am thinking that the confluence of rocks, icy roads and *cough* summer tires will not occur again.

Damn those summer tires! I nearly ended up with the same bumper problem in washoe valley earlier this year. Worked some overtime so I could buy a second set of wheels, you need a dedicated winter set around here.
