How much yah think?

scubastevect64 · 11-30-2007, 09:54 PM

Alright so here is the story. About two months ago I went to get my oil changed at a local Honda dealer. I go to pick it up and a women backed into it with her truck. So I go out and look, and all I saw was that she bent the license plate on the front license plate frame, so figured no harm done. Well this past weekend I decided I didn't want that thing on there so I take the frame off and notice a dent. So I look at the frame and where she hit it, it bent the plastic, didn't crack it though. So she only reversed into it enough to bend the plastic. Now there is a slight dent on the front bumper that is only really prominent in sun light or when light is reflecting off of that area.

Anyone got any idea of how much that might cost. Obviously I can't expect estimate type guesses with pictures or stuff like that, but from the description, does anyone have a rough guess?

Thanks guys

plastic is repairable, lol seen it done plenty of times, i had my whole front bumper painted, just to remove the License plate whole,(lol) sounds stupid right? my buddies dad owns a pretty respected body shop where i live, got it done for like 150, but yah depends on the damage, not trying to thread jack but, yah you could always wait till after you have a bunch of rocks chips to just do it all at once, or do it now, so your paint wont be mismatching. iunno where i am going with this, i better stop now.Post some pics of the Damage!

the same thing happened to me theres a dent in my bumper of my license plate from some a-hole who backed up into my car. i too thought there was no damage because all i saw was the license plate bent a little bit so i let him go. i didnt even think to fix it...i just leave my plates on and it covers it.

Yeah and I might end up doing that if it bugs me to much. I just like the look of the front of the car if it isn't there.

i just got my bumber replaced this past week, the bumper cover iteself cost about 260 or so, which was OEM. The cost of the work is negligible if you think you can do it yourself, which means replacing the bumper and painting it. The "paint supplies" cost about 100 bucks. Total work hours came to about 150. its too bad you cant find the woman that bumped into your car. btw which part of town do you live? near Woodstock?
