as you can see, not a ton of damage at all. mainly paint cracks but the bumper it's self is cracked where the fur is stuck in there. guy told me it would be about 200 if he was to just buffer and repaint the cracked sections but ofcourse theres the small dents left still and the high risk of cracking if the bumper flexes at all again. it's that or 600-700 for a whole new bumper and paint togethere. i'm thinking i'd like to get the new bumper all togethere though i really don't want to deal with paint cracks again later...

 

that friggin kid is never gonna live this down...jesus

 

That bumper should deffinately be replaced and $600-700 seems a bit high. The total cost should not be over about $550 unless the body labor rates there are in excess of $60 per hour.

 

i'm thinkin of just leaving it actualy... it's hardly noticeable unless you're right up on it... and i really don't feel like getting my insurance even higher then it already is so i'll just fix it my self in time.

this is also Western Washington and this state sucks becuase it's got some serious tax issues... but the guy was also giving estimates from his head, not from the computer so...

 

Me thinks his seat of the pants calculator is off a bit:0

 

i'm gona call probably thursday and talk with the lady thats helped with me everything since i first baught it and get a real price. the other sales reps there don't seem to be all there in the head so...

they guy that gave me the estimates really is a nice guy. just a busy day and his settup is all mobile so we were outside runnin around with him. so i just asked him to look at it and possibly have a guess and so he guessed haha.

 

ok, got a real price range, about $470-550 is what it's gona cost me.

body shop guy was telling me all about the shade problems when doing repainting so i asured him it was alright since later on i will be replaceing my fenders and hood with CF so if the replacement bumper is off by a shade it wont be noticeableat all.
