alright today i was drving along and being carfull because the snow is drifting. anyways i did some fish tailing in an intersection and ended up smaking my front bumper on the curb... its snapped inward on the right side and that it. anyone know how much its going to be to fix it? buy a new one and paint and stuff?

 

I renamed this thread to be more descriptive.

 

Ouch!

I believe you can purchase the new bumper cover from the dealer for around $400.00 but you will have to paint it. If you have the appearance package and you need to replace the air dam about $360.00 however, it comes already painted. If your car was V/red I have a front bumper appearance package I could sell you.

 

Perfect time to buy the Mazdaspeed front bumper.....

^^oh it drifts.. just like those videos.. crazzy i tell ya... :D

 

Try and get in touch with "Bainspirit" here in the forums. I think he has his bumper up for grabs since he got his MS kit. Hope that helps.

 

I had my car backed into. The quote I got for the repair was $1800. My damage was really minor but they told be to fix these plastic bumpers is a pain and labor cost would be high, almost as much as a new one, so they'd rather just replace the whole front bumper. The factory front bumper would cost $500 unpainted. Majority of the cost was paint and labor. Labor cost may vary since I live in California and we seem to pay more for everything. But the painting is going to cost you about the same because we have a three stage paint on our cars. It's expensive and hard to get the mica flake in the paint to blend right with the rest of the car. I ended up taking the insurance money and getting a MS front bumper since it is a bolt on (DIY) and comes factory painted to match you car.
