So I let my GF drive my car every now and then, but usually reluctantly. So she returns today only to let me know that she jacked my bumper. Looks like she pulled too far into a parking space. Well now I'm just not going to let her drive my car anymore.

I'm curious what the price is on fixing something like this? The paint around the reflector is cracked off too. Would it be better for me to buy another bumper and get it painted rather than getting this fixed? Originally I wanted to get a different bumper then sell this one off since it *was* pretty clean.

Warning to everyone with girlfriends who don't understand the concept of lowered/longer front end cars, don't let them drive your Z! I'm not mad at her... but now I don't even want to drive my car cause it really looks sh**ty.

 

I feel your pain

looks like about 150-300 bucks... that bumper should pop right out

 

since you're in SJ, bring it to Tommy Auto Body and tell him Alex refer you down. He will take good care for you. Low price but GOOD quality.

cool thanks for the tip. I've got a couple other pictures of the damage. The clear coat above the reflector has several cracks in it too, so I think I might need a repainting as it looks like it'll start to flake.

 

lawl

 

why the hell not???????

 

on the other hand, PERFECT reason for bodykit.

 

lol if you need a bumper, i have 2 oem ones if you just want to respray, i'm willing to sell dirt cheap lol

$650.00 for a new bumper at the dealship, installed and painted. I've had two replaced. They can't be fixed once the rubber is warped..

 

Get a Aerosync bumper from Gruppe-s! $400 bucks!

WTF ouch!!!!

 

Well.. as someone i knew said, "I'll let you borrow my wife, but not my car."

 

Good time to get a new aftermarket bumper!!! Also you can find stock one's on ebay pretty cheap.

The cost of a new OEM bumper costs more than some new aftermarket bumpers (i.e. Aerosync a ING's replica). Shop around a get a new front and make sure the girl doesn't drive again unless she needs to. Everyone, only my parents and brother, have driven my car, with me in it!!!

I am tired of training the new ones!

 

Sorry but bumpers dont come free. Break her legs so this wont happen again. This ensures she wont ask you again after its fixed.

 

Get a new girlfriend.

 

man, i'd be steaming f##king pissed, but then again, I wouldn't let my girlfriend drive my car. Enter Vertex.

 

urethane bumper are very hard to not fixable you are better off buying a new one.
