Cost to have a new bumper cover painted and installed?
I was wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark idea of how much it costs to have this kind of work done by a body shop? My car was "bumped" while parked on the street in the city and the driver's side of the bumper cover was cracked.
Is this a $500 job, $1k, $2k? I am planning to trade in the Z, so I don't want to put too much money into the car and I'm debating whether to try and trade it in with the damage or spend the money to fix it. It would probably be easier for me to just buy someone's Silverstone bumper cover and bolt it on myself but they seem hard to come by locally.

Anyway, $300-500 is reasonable. I just checked KBB and I suppose with the broken bumper the Z would be considered to be in "Fair" or "Poor" condition, so $500 to bump up the value by $5k is a no brainer. I've just never paid for body work out of pocket so had no idea what to expect.
