Painting the bumper costs about 400-500.

Tinted tails are technically illegal, regardless of how much light shines through.

Good luck.

that sux! Stupid truck driver. He'll pay for it so it's all good. Could have been much worse.

 

i just got back from the shop. the owner is a really good friend of mine. it's going to cost $1300 to fix.

 

You should replace the whole rear bumper.

A day after I put on my Eibachs, my car was side swiped by an old lady trying to pull out of her parking next to me. I saw the whole thing happened looking at my side view mirror! Good thing I was there, she didn't even know my car was there?! She swiped the part of the rear bumper thats also part of the rear wheel well. Good thing it's just a 6 inch paint scrape, didn't actually hit the body. wheww! I was pissed off at first but when I saw how it could've been worst. I calmed down. Her insurance will take care of it.

 

Just curious but was there any structual damage? I got hit on Sunday and it only cost $800 for repairs. 370 for the bumper, 280 for labor the rest in paint and taxes. Granted my damages were less visible but I would think that the cost should be comparable, no?


Sorry to hear about your accident but I'm sure you guys will find this as some kind of conspiracy but I have a PG 08 G37 and I got rear ended on Sunday, so I guess I started the trend. Didn’t get a chance to take any pics but I’ll say this much -- It was a very low speed accident. While driving someone cut a minivan off. The minivan stopped short in front of me. I managed to stop and the guy directly behind me managed to stop as well but the guy behind him in an Excursion didn’t and pushed him into me. Unfortunately the guy in the truck took off – hit and run.
Well took the car to the dealership yesterday and the repairs cost $800. There is the smallest crack in the bumper but because it’s plastic it can’t be repaired. I’ll get some pics tomorrow before I drop it off for repairs tomorrow.
Fortunately the guy that hit me was cool about the whole thing and paid for the repairs out of pocket so no need for me to deal with the insurance company.

 

All the PG are getting attacked... Sorry to hear that bro.

 

I got the same estimate pretty much on labor and bumper cover, but in the estimate, the impact absorber is also included, along with the steel reinforcement bar. It's an estimate and he said that he won't know what's broken until he takes off the bumper. So he's just giving me worst case scenario.

Should i paint the valence on now since i'm getting a new bumper or just vinyl it again?
