:( dinged up my baby

so i was backin out of a driveway and could not see a car coming from behind a parked car on the street, and i took a hit to the rear bumper, it scratched my paint up a little bit, and put a 2inch or so crack in it next to the wheel well. What am i lookin at $$$ wise to get her fixed, should i buy a new bumper, or is it fixable?

Crack in bumper = nonfixable. Agreed on the 600-700 for a new bumper plus paint.

My friend got a brand new OEM front left fender for his 3G Eclipse from a company out in NY that does a 50/50 sun/shade paint match and goes by the year too. Get the color code on your car (located when you open your driver side door on the label where it tells you what psi your tires should be at, weight, etc.) I'll ask him for the contact number, he got it pretty cheap too. Hope that helps. I'll let you know when I get in contact with him. Good luck.

After-market "OEMs" don't always match up right, you may have to do some fittment adjusting.
