OEM Front Bumper Replacement

DFW got hit with some heavy ice this week and unfortunately the car slipped a bit and hit a concrete barricade. Damage is pretty much cosmetic on the plastic front bumper (no headlight/hood damage).

Has anyone gotten a full front bumper replacement at the dealer and know how much? It's an 08 Silver RL so I'm estimating around $1200ish but would love it if it's around $800ish.

Lesson learned I guess...

It was honestly a bad choice in my part. I decided to go down a small service road where one lane was under construction so they put up concrete barricades(wall). I last control a little bit and the RL twisted just enough to catch the wall. I was going probably 10 mph.

The RL did much MUCH better than the SC430 though I didn't even dare take it out.

I just had my front bumper reworked in a local body shop, $600. Unless the damage is major you should be OK with reworking. Don't go to the dealer or you will pay $1200. I'm in NC.

These covers can be repaired if they are cracked or scratched.
If its cosmetic I'm not sure why you would get a new one, but if you do there are board sponsors that can quote you a price.

I was looking out to see how much a new bumper would run, it's in the $400 range unpainted.

For those that's curious in the future, All State estimated the damage to be $905.xx. McDavid Acura/Plano said they'll do it for the same price. Includes new bumper, paint, install. They're going to prep the bumper and I'm bringing it in Friday afternoon for them to mount. No rental car needed.

for $400 you can have your original bumper back like new and nothing happened with all the vin sticker still in tact and freshly painted but that's S. Fl. price

have had both front and rear replaced and painted, about $700-$800, depending on if the chrome strips need to be replaced.
