Rear Bumper Repair Quote

I'm guessing you didn't see the previous comments. It was about the value of his truck being affected if he decides to trade in or sell it in the future all over what could be done with a small touch up in a very inconspicuous spot.

 

I got rear ended less than three weeks after buying. My quote for new oem bumper was $700 ish without labor.
I bought a new steel bumper instead and insurance had no problem with it.

 

I had considered found the fix myself, but it turns out that the panel will need a little “tweaking” and the bumper is actually bent in a touch, so some work will have to be done there (brackets?). Again, given that it’s so new, I just want to make sure it is as back to original as possible. I realize that CarFax will pick this up, but hopefully my documenting this (paperwork, pics) will assure any future buyer of how minor this really is.

 

you know you can sand and buff orange peel out of the clear right?

 

Picked the truck up today. Shop did a great job!

 

It matches my front!
