    Hello, I am new to here.
    My husband purchased Tacoma 2023 TDR 4 months ago and today I bumped his car into the concrete block in a parking lot... Does someone have any idea how much would be cost to fix this?
    I would be appreciated if you could help me with approximately quote or any advise...

    The only way to really find out is to get an estimate from a body shop , there can be more hidden damage.Sorry this happened to you, try to use the backup camera more vigilantly

    Best bet. Unfortunately repairs are much more than they used to be, so it might be a claim to get it properly repaired. On such a new truck, I would, though some here will tell you to cable tie a fence post to it, and grab a can of spray paint.

    My truck was bumped into in a parking lot at work, and I took it to body shops and got 3 estimates. They ranged anywhere from $950 to $1200 and 3 days to fix. I looked into just getting the bumper cap paint matched myself and replacing it, it was much cheaper. Taco Vinyl sells them for $149. This also depends on if there is any damage under the cap. I hope this helps!

    I just had the same issue with mine. Got rear ended at a stop light, damage to the RR corner just like that. The estimate was $1229. That's replacement of the colored corner piece, repainting, replacement of the textured plastic step panel that goes across the top, clips and labor time.
    I went and bought the 4wp bumper and replaced it with that instead $999 ($899 with coupon).

    He'll probably like that option better. I also feel better about 1/4" steel vs. some assorted plastic.

    Off topic, but I did similar damage to my 2010 Sport (color matched bumper, not chrome).

    I just unbolted the bumper and pounded the dent out. I miss steel bumpers.

    ^^ This. It's a brand new truck, get it done right. Asking us won't really give you a realistic idea. Take it into a reputable body shop, preferably one that will use OEM parts, and get an estimate.

    Oh, and tell hubby from a distance LOL

    This is correct, they were designed more or less as "modular" bumpers. The two corners consist of the cap and the plastic support behind it. The center of the bumper is a flimsy steel support that the corners and step pad attach to. The "beef" is the hitch. If you remove the bumper from the truck it is super easy to service the individual parts.
    That said, the ebay route is probably your cheapest bet, or aftermarket parts if available.
