Default New Bumper, how much?

Hey guys, got into a little bit of an accident today, nothing big, just scraped up my bumper and some chicks tc's quarter panel. My bumper has gone through too much at this point. I wanted to know how much it would be to replace it or if it would be cheaper to just take it to a body shop.

i'd replace because repairing usually costs almost half, if not more than, the cost of replacing.

several hundred dollars, but shouldn't be more than 1000

A new bumper from the dealer will run you, I think its like $229. So shoudn't be too much.

Same boat you are in. G/F's brother backed into my car, cut the bumper w/ a trailer hitch.

$700 to fix through a toyota body shop.

^^^oh dang, oh by the way, just to clarify, it is my rear bumper that needs to be replaced.

so it would be easier to just buy a new bumper?

What the flying f*ck?

Is that just for the bumper!? If so, you might as well drop your pants for them!

No, as stated the bumper only costs around $230.
Then add paint, paint labor, etc..
