    So I was in a rush to make it to work this morning and backed into the telephone pole at my house not paying attention. I'm having a hard time finding prices for replacement parts so I was wondering if any of you guys might know. It needs a new tail light and a end cap for the bumper and also cracked the center part of the bumper too. Or would cost just as must to put a aftermarket bumper on it. I'm disappointed in how much damage it did for how slow I was going but I guess that's what happens when you use plastic

    My left taillight is also broken. I bumped it loading a couch, and was surprised to see & hear the damage. I'm hoping I can get a factory light cheaper than $150 once the aftermarket lights are available.
    You could probably pick up a used bumper since people are already replacing theirs. Or get an aftermarket one for yourself.

    Plate bumper... a new stock bumper is going to cost the same and you would still have a POS bumper. I don't think you'll be able to fix th.at without replacement of 2-3 pcs of the stock bumper and then paint. Prolly cost more than a plate bumper.

    Just remember that plate bumpers are heavy, and usually require additional costs beefing up the suspension.

    I share your pain man. I just backed the wife's new Rav-4 into a nice bright yellow pole. I guess I should have used the backup camera. Almost 700.00 bucks later it's all fixed. I made sure the taco came equipped with bumper sensors, lane change warning etc sine I apparently need all the help I can get

    I have a telephone pole right against the edge of my driveway too. One morning I wasn't paying attention in my old frontier and smacked it pretty good. The bumper hit the quarter panel and I t oil canned my passenger side quarter panel. Couldn't get the dent out.

    I feel your pain lol. I feel like getting my chainsaw out and cutting the damn thing out. Luckily for me the bottom of the pole is starting to rot out so perhaps soon I'll call and see if they will replace it and move it over a few feet

    I vote for "chainsaw it"... (during the night of course)... hehe If they do not move it, set up some barrier that your tires will hit first to alert you...!! Good luck..
