I need a new rear bumper :(

Some asshole hit my car while it was parked in the city. There is a nice red mark with par tof the bumper punched thru. So the bumper cover needs to be replaced. Don't wanna go thru inurance because we have already made two claims this year. Mother fucker. Anyways...anyone know how much a rear bumper costs? and how much do you think it cost to get it painted. Thanks.

New bumper + paint job + labor = under $700

That's what happen to me once when my co-worker try to back up his car and hit my rear right side of my bumper.

You dont have to replace your bumper. And $700.00 is a rip off.

If you absolutely have to have a new bumper you can find it online for about 150-200 then another 250-300 to paint it.

But your bumper is plastic and they can make it look like new. I was in a hit and run in Dec and the a$$hole punctured my bumper in 3 places and took gouges out in other places and of course royally f-ed up my paint.

I took my car to a body shop my mechanic recommended. I paid $250 to have my bumper fixed and repainted and my bumper looks better then when i bought the car (had some touch up areas on it originally) I couldnt be happier and I didnt have to pay the ridiculous $750.00 original quote I got from some rip off place that told I had no choice but replace my bumper and the under skirt...BS.

Ah... I would be interested in painting the rear bumper for less than $250.

Here is a picture where you can see the slice:
