How much would a bumper in good condition and header panel cost?

I was just hit and I am trying to get an idea of how much the estimate would be.

I found a header panel for $75 and a bumper cover for 200 a few years ago when mine got hit.

I just sold a usable header panel for $95 but they usually go for $125. I have a nice front bumper for $250 but you can find them for less.

Insurance will probably quote around $2500-$3000 is my guess.

mmmm not that bad I would say... make sure the bumper is toast and not just the paint cracking.... I would replace the turn signal and the nose panel and check out the front bumper (most likely reuse as long as it didn't break thru).

I have a turn signal indicator for you. Depending on how fussy you want to be about your car, you might let Travis at TC Concepts look at it before you start replacing stuff, he's a god when it comes to auto body stuff (he painted Lisa's 928).

I haven't heard of that place. I am wanting to get my car fixed at least so it looks good. Like I said I'm not at fault so it should be put back the way it was. which was in pretty damn good shape on the front end.

My plan is wherever I take it I want to see if I can workout a deal to get the rear of the car fixed as well might be cheaper than getting just the rear fixed? I don't know. My Fiance' said that her dad did about the same thing when he was hit. He had the body shop fix some other stuff for way cheaper than it would have cost to have it done by itself.

First estimate was $3100. That was with a brand new front bumper and them fixing the header panel.

They still have new bumpers? I doubt that very seriously, Lart is your friend or dcauto, get in contact with them. If necessary buy the parts your self, give the shop a 5% markup, and get on with the repairs. Everyone wins.
