One on the right for me
you can track down a painted bumper for somewhere in the 300 dollar range...install it yourself obviously. thats what bumpers are made for...i enjoy the plastic rather than the metal that is on my 67 mustang. my bumper gets hit with lots of shit on the freeway, its taking quite a beating, but its plastic and a cheap fix.

I took mine to a body shop the Acura dealership recommended. It cost me $550.00. That price included new bumper, paint, and labor. They also fixed some minor scratches on the car.

When my bumper had a crack in it i found a new TL bumper on ebay...I havent seen many body parts on ebay though. i work at a shop and get discounts from the dealer...so i got mine like that....i would take it to a body shop first b/c a lot of the time they can fix that kind of damage....unless you want to just put a new bumper on there.

Keep Right Except to Pass
I paid about $600 last week for a new bumper cover, paint, and labor. There is a sticker on the driver's door jamb that has the color code--the body shop should use that code to match the color for the bumper. As has been noted before, this is not something to go to the dealer about, because the bumpers do not come painted and the dealer would have to work with a third-party body shop unless the dealer has a paint shop on site (which is very unusual). Then if you have a problem, you have to go through the dealer again as middleman. Not worth the trouble.

Get a grip apolize to your moms if you screamed at her and get you self some bumper tape, your bumper will get scratched again. No reason to keep repairing the thing every two to three months.
