i'm going to a body shop monday, what do you guys figure a new bumper for an 03 cls would cost painted and everything?

this is so ugly

 

bumper 400 painted 200 about 700

 

Rear/Front?

Also, wouldn't it be cheaper just to get a bodykit? Are there any bodykits that aren't just lip-addons to the front bumper, but a whole new one?

I'm in the same boat, sort of... I've got a scratch on my front bumper and a dent in my rear. Nastay up the hizzle.

And please, if anyone suggests that EVO lookin shit with the huge foglights, I'll kill em.

Thanks

 

front bumper

 

argh. thanks man.

 

does the front bumper come with those plastic things where the 01/02 fog lights used to be? because i need that too

 

I had to have mine replaced/ painted and the total was $670.00 give or take a couple of bucks.

 

amisconcetpion - if the money to fix your car is coming out of your own pocket, and also, if you're looking to save a little cash, i recommend that you purchase an oem bumper cover from the internet (google-it) and take it to a reputable bodyshop for prep and paint, assuming that's all your gonna need to replace/fix. installing the bumper yourself is quite easy so reconsider the extra $200 it would cost you to have them do very little work. it doesn't take much brains to figure out which way points up and out... all you have to do is slide it on and adjust accordingly, kinda like putting a strapless bra on an armless chick, covering her up after you achieved maximum satisfaction as a one-time favor.
So, if my memory serves me any justice, or any damn good in my life time, i believe i spent less than $450 to replace the front-bumper cover. that's not too bad considering i was quoted >$600 by three bodyshops in the san francisco area. good luck.

 

$600.00-$700.00 dollars.

 

I bought a genuine acura rear bumper from the dealer for like 210, and had it painted and installed by the shop my dealer uses for 330 .. so close to 550.

 

thanks guys... but does the oem bumper come with the plastic fog lamp cover things? because that's also crapped
