Ok ill tell your right now you can swap the bumper yourself quite easily. What body work? If the only thing that is damaged is the bumper then what body work? Honestly you can get an SD airdam for a couple hundred and it covers that right up. Idk that price is redic

From what I've seen now a days a grand to replace and paint a panel is a grand. But yes the price is redicoulus. I'd do like Chris suggested. Get the SD airdam and use it as a "band aid".

No, thats crazy. There is a shop where I had my friends car repainted and there happen to be a 2006-2008 BMW five series there and to get the front bumper repainted was a little over 300.00 dollars and I had my front bumper redid because of my accident back in 2007 and it still looks good.

Go to different shops and don't just settle for the first one you see.

You should probably just buy an SD lip with GT/GTP rear bumper/side skirts for that G note
