accidents rear bumper

Had a parking lot accident on Christmas Eve. Guy backed into my rear bumper. I would have rather he demolished it so I can get an offroad bumper ,but the damage is really only cosmetic. Any idea on how much it would cost to fix this.

 

$15,000 with 4 weeks in the shop after the 6 week part lead time.

Frankly, it shouldn't cost you a dime. The other driver was in reverse to hit a parked vehicle. Its their insurance.

 

like 1000 bucks for a real nice bumper...

 

The end caps are around $100 Canadian unpainted, so I assume less in the USA. That’s aftermarket, which I assume would be fine for a plastic piece such as this.

 

Buy a couple of black bumper covers from rock auto and call it a day. It should be less than $150. If you want them painted to match it would be a little more.

I had a similar experience only my bumper cap had broken off competely.

If that’s the only damage, a new bumper cap may be all you need. I think they come unpainted from Toyota, but a local shop could paint it easily. And install if needed, though you may choose to install yourself. Here’s a link to a company that sells painted OEM parts. No experience with the company, just came up on a Google search. https://www.paintedoemparts.com/sto...ta_Tacoma_Rear_Bumper_Caps_|_Genuine_OEM.html

 

Posts #5 and 22 have pictures and a disassembly write up on removing the bumper caps. Looks like you do not have BSM or parking assist which will make doing it yourself easier.
