Bumper replacement


Long story short, driving on an unfamiliar road at night in rain, turning right and didn't see giant pothole, cracked rear corner piece just behind the right rear tire. Haven't had time to get quotes from any local shops or the dealership, any suggestions and/or any ideas how much this would damage the wallet? The piece will need to be replaced plus the 2 mounting clips at the bottom are all gone as well.

Its most likely fixable. I had a crack in a bumper and it was about 400 to have the crack fixed and the bumper re sprayed. Looked good couldn't even tell anything happened.

Should be able to fix that. A body shop will most likely do the repair, paint the repair and blend it into the rest of the bumper, then clear the entire thing and reinstall. Should look just like new after.

I'd pop it back, put some sort of epoxy on it then add Rear Corner Extensions that go over it... either in phantom black or carbon fiber.
