I went shopping online and it looks like a new bumper will be $215 from hondapartsdeals (shipped) plus paint and install. Has anyone had to replace a rear bumper yet? How much did it cost in the end? The best quote I've gotten so far is $800.. which seems mighty high (600 for paint and install?).
painting a bumper alone will be about $200-300. thent here is the work of uninstalling old/reinstalling new...taping off entire car to fix/paint/blend the scratched quarter panel and blend the bumper into the other side quarter panel.

id say $800 is a fair price.
