so i destroyed some sort of small critter this morning on the road....

now my bumper has wings...the far back mounting bolt on each side got ripped off...

im assuming i need a new bumper...

can anyone give me a rough estimate on a new bumper painted and installed on 02 civic...black

i know joo gonna flame me but no bodyshops are open still today and im just curious if its gonna be worth putting in a claim:hs:

 

flameflameflame. i dont know.

 

DIY ftw! I bought my front bumper for my 00 civic for 168 out the door from dealer. It would be a lot cheaper if you had the means to diy

 

i didnt say i couldnt do it myself....i plan on it. its just if its over like 400 for a shop to do it, im gonna turn in a claim that way i save even more cash on the deal... my agent says that if i file a claim it wont affect my current rate so im just gonna take the check and do it myself

 

Just curious as to how this DIY is done? I assume you need a gun/compressor/space...etc.

I just got a brand new 98-01 coupe rear bumper from this guy, still in it's packaging, primed grey still in it's HONDA packaging. He gave me ALL clips/skrews and gave me a brand new license plate bracket/light all for $150 cash.

My car is Black (I think nighthawk black or w/e). Just got it sunday and want to put it on.

 

:hsdunno:

have my own spraybooth in the garage...pops used to do alot of custom work, and i can always use the booth at one of the shops in town, they always owe us a favor or two

 

Damn that must be nice to be able to use that, lucky you. Guess i'll have to pay those over priced body shops.


:sad:

 

yea its nice...i prolly will use one of the shops in town as dads body shop is full of junk since he hasnt had a need for it in a long time

he just painted his new bike frame but did that in the machine shop and just dropped plastic for walls
