Rear Bumper Hit, Looking at Body Kits.
My Dad hit my RX-8 of only three weeks this weekend. So since it is a relative, were probably not reporting it to the insurance company. I was thinking, since the right filler or guard doesn't look like it should be damaged, only the bumper?, I was thinking about making this an opportunity to put a body kit on it?
Questions:
Is this a good opportunity?
How much do body kits usually run to put on and paint?
Is it going to cost a lot less just replacing the bumper?
Should I just buy an after-market bumper instead of the the whole body kit?
ONE more question!
How much will it cost to get the bumper painted!?
Please give me your opinions!

if you get a whole body kit, it will cost more then oem.
for prices, look at www.japanparts.com
mazdaspeed is not a full bumper replamcement so you can rule that kit out. (it'll come up in searches so figured I'd give you the heads up)
just replace it with an OEM, it's the quickest thing to do and will be nicer on your father's wallet.
