Default Hit and Run. Help!!!! Need an OEM Rear Bumper Cover

The DW was stopped at a red light and she was rear-ended by a hit-and-run driver. The bas---- took off and left this damage:




Anyway, my insurance has a $500 deductable and I don't necessarily want to make a claim.

Does anyone know where I can get a rear bumper cover for my '06 box, cheap? A used one is fine. eBay has one but it's $400 including shipping to Florida (OUCH!).

Anyone know how difficult it is to replace this part??

Thanks in Advance!!!!!

Sorry for your loss. It's prolly more than just the cover. There is a beam under there that also got bent if not other stuff. You can search for a white bumper cover on this site tho. It covers nationwide. Happy hunting. www.car-part.com

A new unpainted bumper cover is about $136 at the dealer least here on the East coast.

I think you can write off the damage on your income taxes if you itemize? I remember seeing a theft/vandalism deduction in previous years. Just something you may want to look up to see if you should rush and get it fixed in 2006. Sucks that you got hit though.
