illt3ck Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I was on my way home yesterday afternoon and slowing down to a stop to turn right. The guy in front of me goes so I look to my left for traffic then *BAM* I smack the guy in the back. Turns out he was on his cell phone and not paying attention because there was NO ONE coming from the left. He apologized profusely but I'm sure they will make me at fault because I ran into him from behind. There was no damage to his car but my bumper has been pushed out and I suspect the bumper support bent / 5mph foam busted. Has anyone had to have the front bumper replaced yet? If so, how much did it run you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 That's such a common accident. I learned my lesson when I was 16 though when I destroyed a Ranger's rear end. Funny thing, my Buick didn't even have a dent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedawgs Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I had my bumper, fender, light, and hood replace this year. My insurance forked out about $450 for the bumper. I can't tell you how much the foam and bumper beam is though. If you what to go with a different look, then you can get a JDM bumper painted and shipped for about $700-800.
