Hit a curb and need new front bumper replaced it's so scraped up. How much do they run and I'll so the install myself and any suggestions should i go to a body shop or order a new bumper from the factory. Trying to see what costs what

Doesn't sound too bad and hopefully a quick fix!! You can order it and have it painted, then install yourself!

BUT before anyone asks VDC on or off? People love to ask that (Not that I care!)

A new oem Nissan bumper is around $300 and paint (probably around 250-350 depending on the shop). Another $30 or so for a new emblem if you need it.

It's real easy to install, but the color match could be an issue. They might need to blend in the hood and fenders.

Damn, man, sorry to hear that! If you are near the Longwood area, Autobody Exotics does a great job, but they aren't cheap. Their color matching is topnotch though.

Also if it isn't badly dented or cracked, they could probably repair it instead. Any pics?

How about getting a lip to cover it up?

Just my thinking. can someone please chime in on if this lip may save me the money of repainting the bumper. i need a couple opinions. take a look at where the scrtaches are and what the pi covers. Thank guys
