so this morning to go to work and i see someone hit my rear bumper and left a pretty big scratch, will it be fixable at a bodyshop or will i need to replace to whole bumper?

 

a scratch can be repaitned... if the bumper is banged up, bented or dented, expect a new bumper since it is plastic

Sorry bout the luck, btw

 

if its only a scratch you don't need a new buper unless it went through the bumper

 

Have a body shop or garage look at the bumper. They will be able to tell you if the bumper needs replacement or just fixed.

Sorry about your luck, man

 

its not dented or bent just scratches down to the plastic, i can see the black, so most likely i could get this fixed without deformities rather than replacing and painting a whole new bumper right? does anyone know a estimate of how much itll cost?

 

Alot of times even if it's just a paintjob you can get a new one off trdsparks.com for cheaper than goin to a bodyshop. Same thing happened to me and lowest quote I could get was $300 for a barely noticeable scratch (all the other stuff buffed out), and i can just get a replacement for like $180 shipped and color matched.

 

how do you get a paintjob from trdsparks?

 

>.< no I mean if you just need a paintjob and no actual repair done at a shop, you can get a new one cheaper off trdsparks.

 

lol i went to ask a guy how much would it cost to paint like a 4 in by 4 in part of my car where it got scratched. he said 100 bucks. i was like uh... no thanks!

 

That's like, uh....not bad. Sand, primer, paint. When I had my Cougar I was charged more than that to have some already primered taillight overlays painted.

 

Could always DIY ;)
CSM color code is 1F7 fyi.
