Damn, that plastic bumper is expensive.

Backing up the driveway, clipped the side of the garage, $350.00 out the fucking window.

Brick corner of the house is just fine.



Not sure I'm ready to replace it with steel yet.

 

The rock auto ones are fairly inexpensive:

They'll shatter into a million bits and pieces from rock auto. Backed into a construction Barrel and it shattered

 

Yep, looked at them, curious how the fit is compared to OEM.

 

Might find someone who went with steel and try to buy their take off parts..

You're welcome.

 

Certainly dont want that, looks like its OEM.

Not sure if I need to be happy I'm not replacing brick. The really dumb part of this is I was already safe up in the driveway until I decided I was too far over in the middle. The second trip up the driveway riding the edge is how I clipped the garage door frame.

Good thing the refrigerator is full of beer tonight.

 

Hm. Well it seems like like a plus- the bumper may have been designed in a way that small bumps like this won’t buckle that brick corner costing you tons of time and possibly more money. That’s the plus side.

 

I have a brand new pair OP, pm me if you want so we can talk.

 

My stuff is broken in half

 

Let me think on it awhile as I decide replacing plastic or steel.

Appreciate the offer, does that include the edge piece under the chrome cap? That's anywhere from $190 -250 for OEM.

 

My pleasure!

You can plastic epoxy the structure back in place and put covers over it. I have covers on mine because I didn't like the Chrome.

Yeah, the brick would have been a shit ton more hassle and money to replace.

Time to start drinking and deciding. I'll need to be a little incoherent if I tell the wife I might save $350 by spending $1k. I want her to know I'm drunk, not an idiot.

 

Yeah, already have damaged bumpershell too.

 

if i ever see an auto body repair shop with a stack of ramen boxes out side,
im taking my car somewhere else to get it fixed

 

Think of it as a 35% discount off a basic but nice steel bumper.

 

I'm not sure how my Texican built Japanese truck would respond to being repaired by Chinese noodles.

 

Sucks, but it looks like you didn't damage the body like I did...
