Bottom of the car cover partially ripped...

A while back I ran over a curb on accident and while doing so, the plastic cover on the bottom front (more in between the front wheels) kind of tore, so now part of the cover is hanging down a bit. Its just the plastic cover so, I'm wondering how much ya'll would guess the estimate would cost to get it replaced and repaired?

You'll have to replace it. I would imagine it would cost you about $150 for the part and an hour of labor for the dealer to put your car up on a lift and replace the part. You're probably looking at $250 at least...

I found out the same thing happened to me when I went to get a new bumper last month. The parts are listed on my invoice from the body shop as Fender Liner/Radiator Support ($68.03) and Splash Shield ($79.92). Labor is listed as 0.4 and 0.3 hours, respectively.

So how much would/should they charge me for labor?

Labor will depend on where you go and what that place charges. Everywhere is different. My body shop was $45/hr for labor.

Yes it's quick. I just said above it's less than a half our for each piece. Go to a body shop rather than the dealer if you want to save money.

Or better yet, just do it yourself. It shouldn't be hard to do.

I wish...lol...i was never that great around tools and cars, I'm more into electronics. Besides I'd rather not take my chances on removing and adding parts by myself especially when I don't know what I'm really doing. I'm paranoid like that.

this is a easy fix man all you have to do is unscrew some bolts

OMG that's like a bazillion screws...I mean that's crazy. But paying someone else 90 dollars is ridiculous also. And I have a feeling that if I want to take out one part, I'll need to take out another on top or below the actual piece...or something along the lines of that.
