well no i want a new one because i got scammed and the p0eople who replaced it last time gave me a "repaired" bumper
and there is a butt load of filler and bondo on a part of the bumper cover that was never damaged. so the guy at the body shop is a buddy of mine, he wants to get me a new bumper, because god knows how bad the bumper really is. filler and bondo was just peeling off of it

yeah the bumper cover is like 680$ unpainted.
and i am getting a new fender also
and he said it will take about 4 days for him to get one cause they are hard to come by. i dont care my insurance is covering it and i know the guy so he is going to ensure a quality job.
PARTS ARE ABOUT 11-1200$ AFTER LABOR AND PAINT ETC IT COMES TO 1880

I know the paint has to be blended. The front bumper isnt that bad at all. It can actually be saved. Thats why I said $1000. If he gets a new bumper then yeah $2,000 with the blending of the paint. Unless there is no blending (which I NEVER recommend). Its a nice car, so I would pay the cash to get it looking nice.

Just do what I did, Get the old bumper cover back from the shop after they are done with your car and sell it to somebody on CEG! I sold my rear bumper cover from an accident to Mikey Boy. Make some money off your misfortune and help a fellow CEG'r out at the same time.

did you read her above post? she does need a new bumper and there is easily $1,000 dollars damage even if she didn't need a new bumper. i had about the same thing happen to me and it was over $1,000, which was considerably lower than two other estimates i got which were 1500 and 1700!! on a side note: nice new mustang mang!!
sorry to see that happened kristen, post pics when she's all done up
