Hit and Run *****
 

Well I went in to eat this afternoon. Came out and there is a big scratched up dent in my rear bumper. My insurance adjuster friend who was with me told me that most likely my whole bumper needs to be replaced. Just great considering my bro just wrecked my 3kgt 2 weeks ago. Nationwide is just making a killing off me this month. Anyways I was wondering if anybody knows how much it would cost for a new bumper or maybe somekind of body kit bumper that will look good on an otherwise stock car. Another thing is I have a GG MR. So do you think it will be hard for a bodyshop to match the color? Input appreciated. Thanks everybody

color match isn't hard at all, they have a device that reads the exact color of a close panel and tells the painter how to tint YOUR paint.

how about getting the evo 9 bumper

I was thinking about EVO 9 bumper actually. But was wondering if it would look rite. And also fitment issues.

its plastic so they can remold it... id say bout 500$ i had a few scratchs fixed on mine.. for 384.

my guess for a new rear bumper will be like 650 plus body shop time 350

so around 1k for everything

probably around 600 just to get the rear fixed

The actuall OEM rear bumper, which comes prepainted, costs $450.

damn thats cheap. i will have to check with my dealer and see if they can match that price.

Thanks for help guys. I guess main thing is to see what the exact quote is. I was just wondering if now would be a good time to change to a different bumper because of this. I want to but I don't want to pay too much extra.

i thought the oem bumper didn't come painted. the gg paint is available now though.

bump for an update. How much did it cost for the bumper? Some lady bumped my bumper and were working out a price. Did the bumper come prepainted?

Well shop is estimating me about a grand total of $1000 to get a new bumper and get it painted. They gave an estimate price of $675 just for the bumper. Now its just a matter of me finding a good shop in MD and takin it in. Thanks for ppl askin.

Gruppe S is selling evo 9 rear bumpers, apparently they have no fitment issues and can match colors.

Might be worth your while

I got an estimate on mine yesterday from one shop. My bumper isn't noticable, but I still know its there. Anyways... They wanted to charge me $915 for new bumper painted and everything. Well I called my Mitsubishi dealership and they sell new evo 8 bumpers PREPAINTED for $464.10. That includes shipping and what not. Might be worth looking into, if you want to do it yourself. I think I'm going this route.
