[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]My neighbour hit on my car's rear bumper in my apartment parking lots. The estimate repair fee is $480 and he agreed to pay for it. Should I get my rear bumper repair or just buy a new one? I can get a new one online through dealer for $200 included s&h, but I don't know how much would it cost to paint a new bumper. What should I do?

depending on the shop...and if they have really good color matching...they'll paint a bumper for roughly 250~300 beans. I had my bumper repainted for 282, but the color matches perfectly.

Yeah, this just gives you an excuse to get a whole body kit. So if you have it in writing where the shop quoted you for a new bumper and painting it get him to agree to pay that. Just add a few bills to it and you can have a kit.

if u have the cash go get a full kit. i hate it when ppl just buy an aftermarket bumper and thats it. it looks soo ackward and incomplete. buyin just a bumper is like takin ur caps off ur wheels. nice and ghetto. makes ppl think either. A) your waiting to get the cash for a full kit or B) ur ghetto and think one bumper makes ur car look amazing. if ur not gettin a full kit just go to a junk yard and buy a bumper off another civic
