So if you've been following some of my ... antics ... you'll know that I did a bit of damage to my baby while having some fun last year. More on that here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=173399

Basically ripped off all front splash guards/fender liners. And yanked a couple bumper clips in the process.



Whoops.

So I've been contemplating getting all of that fixed and getting an idea what it might cost me. Was figuring might need replacement bumper installed/painted (figured the little bit of damage for this and take care of the rock chips and another scuff I have), all splash guards, and various hardware bits/clips/fasteners.

Finally got around to stopping by the body shop today to get a quote. This is just a local place that did some work on my rear bumper a year or two ago when someone backed into me in a parking lot or something (very minor damage, but hit and run, and annoying). They did an awesome job on that - thought I'd stop by and get a price.

Front Bumper: He didn't think it was too bad and that I could probably still use it. If I did have another one painted (was looking at sourcing one myself) that would run about $250 - not including the actual bumper.

Splash Guards: These would run about $300-$310 total (fender liners are about $100 each and then about another $100 for the two middle pieces). I priced them all on TRDSparks and they'd run just under $270 shipped for all 4 pieces. Might be worth going that route if I do.

Hardware: Estimating probably $30-$40 for various bits of hardware, clips and fasteners. This seems logical and I wouldn't really bother trying to source them elsewhere since I don't know exactly which ones would need to be replaced.

Labor: Thinking about an hour, hour and a half of labor to install it all. $100-ish?

Grand total was somewhere in the $450-$460 range (WITHOUT painting the bumper). Of course this is a really rough estimate too... and I could also save myself about $40 getting the splash guards myself via TRDSparks.

So there's my story ... us this as some sort of reference if it's relevant to what you need. Otherwise... I guess it would be then irrelevant, no?

Now I just have to decide what to do.

 

ummm save your money and buy some cool parts

 

I'd get the bumper repaired/sprayed and then slowly do the rest. You can drive around just fine without fender liners or splash shields. I understand that you may want them, but you'll be buying and installing them yourself anyway so it's not like you need to drop the cash all at once.

 

I've actually been without the liners since about Sept/Oct time frame. Not in an incredible hurry to get them in or anything. But had been putting off even getting a quote.

And normally, ya, I'd probably do it all myself (aside from the painting, as needed) but I don't know what clips / fasteners I'd need for sure and don't want to a) spend $50 on a bunch of them and end up with extras or b) end up getting most things done but end up missing 2 or 3 specific ones I really need.

The having the shop do it part would be for simplicity on my part.

 

Fair enough. Can't argue with you there.
