Got rear ended by family member
Got rear ended by family member and was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a 2010 g37x coupe silver metallic rear bumper.
Also would it be easy to replace the bumper by myself? Or would I need a shop to do it.

Why bother? Do you have comprehensive insurance?
You'll still have to pay a deductible unless your family member is found to be at fault.
As we say in NJ
Faaaget about it
Get and estimate from a couple of body shops and then put that amount in a saving account.
Just my $.02

If you found a matching bumper it's a simple DIY. BUT, if any of the metal and mounting points have been tugged at to kinked by the impact, however light it might've been, you'll need a body shop to do it correctly. With that in mind if you do go to a shop…
DO NOT let them paint the entirety of the rear quarters to blend with the bumper cover paint, that is unnecessary!!! Trust me on that, it happened to me for the identical amount of damage to my rear bumper on a car I once owned and the painting of the rear quarter panels mismatched my paint colors from front to back! The car never looked the same, even after having them repaint the quarters to match TWICE.

Check Craigslist as well. A quick 30 second search in Atlanta yielded this coupe bumper in silver with sensors. Now it may not be what you're looking for, but point is, they are out there....
