So the other week I wanted to go out to breakfast, the plaza I went to was packed, couldn't find a parking spot. When I found one, the car on the side (a newer model Buick Lacrosse) was like directly on the yellow line spacing the spot so it was tight, tried going in there slowly, all of a sudden I hear cracking... All of a sudden I'm like wtf is that? Notice the Buick was moving I'm like greeeeeeat! I run out and see that the Buick just had minor scratches, scratches that appeared could wash off honestly, then I turn around and see a section of my bumper just chillin' on the floor, my jaw dropped..

This is how I've been rollin' lately, windshield washer fluid just chillin'...

Anyways I've been checking on eBay and saw this seller selling already painted bumpers, all I need to do is provide proper color code, anybody deal with this seller? Should I bother with this or which route should I take in getting a new bumper? Here's the link to the bumper:

Didn't resize the picture it's kinda huge, my fault

Get an 09 bumper dude!
And idk about ebay..I never trust them

I'd need the '09 grill too right? Do you know if I can pick one up at the dealership already painted? If so, would you or anyone know how much they go for?

Damn. I'm sorry about that, that looks terrible.

I think the 09 grill would go for no more than $75.

However, were you able to get the Buick's information? His insurance should be paying for the bumper.

eBay link looks alright. 100% feedback for the past 12 months, has a return policy, and the bumper is lightweight so if you HAD to return it, just cover it up with bubble wrap and in a tight box (which you could make with heavy duty tape and a box cutter).

 

[Soto10691]

No, I thought I would've been at fault regardless, so I just waited for everyone that was in the parking lot to stop paying attention to me to leave. F*ck it, after Ryan telling me to get an '09 bumper I'm leaning toward that, wonder how much a body shop would charge for a bumper painted?

Certi-fit. 09+ goes for around $40 bucks brand new aftermarket. paint will cost you around 200 at a reputable body shop, I'd throw some fogs in there while I was at it. g/l tho
