Bumper with 2 small scratches: $170 shipped.
New bumper + paint: $800.

The new bunper isn't going to stay perfect forever especially since I drive the Z over 20k miles per year.

I hear what you're saying, but I just woulda spent a couple weeks looking for one on here, eBay, amazon and OEM places online, but $170 is a heck of a price.

I've been looking for a while now, but this deal was too good to pass up.

Better to have damage on the bottom lip and scratches from speedbumps/curbs where no one will notice than having a very visible dent right in the center.

I'd rather have neither.. no bumps, dents or dings..

Dude where did you find that bumper for $800? that had to be from Nissan directly.

b1adesofcha0s · 01-15-2012, 02:08 PM

New bumper is like $300-400 and then another $300-400 to paint it. Got two quotes from two different body shops back when I first had my accident.

eastwest2300 · 01-15-2012, 02:49 PM

Damn... well that sucks bro.
