hey guys my car has been damaged in the rear slightly or extremely depending on what your opinions are.

heres a picture


my rear aspec kit is scratched up also. what do you guys suggest i do? should i just take it to a shop and have them repaint the rear bumper and rear aspec kit? how much do you guys think this would cost me? i found a seller on ebay who sells the 07 OEM rear bumper painted for $640 shipped? do you guys think its worth it to buy it off ebay? heres the link

if so would i be able to install the rear bumper myself? how would i take off the lower rear aspec kit. just unscrew the screws and rip it off the 3m tape and buy more 3m tape to put it back on? if i wanted to get the rear aspec kit how much would it cost to repaint?

thanks

Ouch....I'd probably just get it repainted. Get a couple quotes from body shops.

1. Get quote from body shop(s)
2. Find out how much a new aspec Rear lip costs ($300?)
3. Add up aspec Rear Lip cost + new painted bumper cost
4. Analyze choices to see which is cheaper

wouldn't painting it and buying a new one be almost the same price?

repainting is not cheap. they usually repaint the whole darn thing. a door panel can cost around 300 bucks.

Hey Jon, is this new or from when you backed out into your mom's car?

By the look of the pic you should be able to get away with just getting the whole bar painted.BTW if you buy a new bar it comes unpainted.

whats the bar?

anyways pacman this was from before. surprised you stillr emember this. i have been very busy with school and haven't had time to get this looked at. winter break is coming and i want to narrow down my choices on what i should do. anyways yeah ima start with that option and see which is the best way.

is it possible to get my aspec rear lip painted instead of buying a new one? would it be cheaper?

CGTSX07

why wouldn't you be able to get the aspec lip painted

again, to get a solid answer just take it to a body shop. i'm willing to bet it is cheaper to repaint everything than to get new OEM parts.
