i was wandering if this bumper is fixable

or

i need to replace the bumper

Picture


what do i need to do?

 

it's fixable but it'll probably be cheaper to just replace it. Get another bumper and paint it. done deal.

 

do u know the price range for a stock 05 bumper?

 

Anything is fixable, but yea I would just buy another one and get it painted. I guess the best option would be to browse around for an RS 1.0 bumper. A used bumper can be bought for around $100-$250 depending on how good the condition is. Painting it would cost another $200.

 

honestly it is cheaper to replace than to fix,body shop charges $100 an hour on average......that is like 4 hours work to fix,new bumper from dealership is $250,both would need paint and that is another $250......

 

Go get a new bumper from ebay. Its cheaper than the dealer. You could also go through your insurance if your deductible isn't to bad. It will probably be tough to find a RS1 bumper as well. There was a place on ebay where you could buy a brand new painted bumper in the color you need for like 300 but it was like 200 shipped so 500 total. That seems to be a pretty good deal.

 

What happened, btw?

 

a new OEM bumper costs like $230 dollars or so if i recall correctly.

the only problem is that if you lost or damaged your RS1 grills, those cost serious $$$ to replace, so you'd be better off going through insurance.
