okay so i let my mom borrow my car and she came back to my house and she told me that while she was pulling into sonic she came to close and crunched the front left side of the bumper i've only had the car a month as of today and ive already had to pass down 400 for a new tire due to a flat sooo im wondering where i can have my bumper replaced other then the dealer and if it could be salvaged

Are you looking to replace the bumper or do a touch up?

NoynuR · 08-21-2010, 03:25 AM

what would you recommend

Jamaica · 08-21-2010, 03:38 AM

Might need a new bumper. You can either purchase another nismo bumper or go aftermarket. All depends on how much you wanna spend

NoynuR · 08-21-2010, 03:41 AM

where would i get another bumper other then the dealership??

Jamaica · 08-21-2010, 03:45 AM

Well depends on what you want. Do you want the nismo or something else>?

NoynuR · 08-21-2010, 03:45 AM

That suks to see that, but since it's new, I'd look into just getting it replaced, I wouldn't want a bondo repair but thats me. Good luck! a not too expensive lesson learned.

Buy a new front bumper and have it resprayed. How much is your deductible? Might want to go through your insurance. Your best bet would be to go around and get estimates from reputable body shops to get a good idea of what the cost is.

Your car will not be salvaged for just a replacement front bumper.
