While parked a few days ago my bumper got scratched up by some A@#hole who also left two holes (Im assuming from license plate screws on the other car) in the bumper. While I know this is a cosmetic problem it really is driving me nuts. My question to you guys is, How much do you think it is to replace the front bumper? Thanks for your help.

CTM,

I know how you feel. Something similar happened to me.

I called my insurance company and of course they are paying for it. I just have to pay for the deductible. The quote I got from the body shop for a brand new bumper, painted and installed was $1100.

Ballpark, $500-$600 for part and painting. I have a curb rash that I have yet to fix, but I did price the front bumper and the part is approx. $250 with the remainder depending on the costs in your area.
