Got a nice size ding in my rear bumper form some parking lot fiend... The estimate for fix my my dealer includes a whole new rear bumper @ $250 + labor, paint, etc = $628.17. Are there any ideas on how to fix a 3 cm dimple or anyone heard of an aftermaket bumper that could be a non-roce improvement ?

 

wow, bumper is 270 I believe, i only paid ~200 to paint it tho. installed myself.

if you want a kit, and assuming the dent is above the liscense plate/combo light line, then ings +1 full kit, and veilside ver 2 and 3 are all full bumper replacements, about 700$ for any of them +painting of course.

 

if the ding is below the plate, the INGS +1 half kit will work too.

 

THANKS for the advice ! The Ings +1 half kit looks like my best bet to fix this ding and upgrade at the same time. I've done a couple of searches of the site and have not been able to find where to order the half kit , price , and more detailed pics any ideas ? Your assistance is greatly aappreciated. Namaste.

 

Bro, IF you have the time I would order the Ings kit then give your factory rear bumper along with the Ings rear piece to a great body shop and have them mold the two together so you don't have ANY seems or raised edges. It will then look like you got it from the factory that way nice and clean. OR I would just purchase a new factory bumper and give that to the body shop with the Ings kit so you have NO down time. Then you could always sell your dinged bumper to someone who needs a new one badly. They will get it fixed themselves. Trust me ,those people are out there.

 

I got mine from www.vividracing.com. The seam actually looks ok; here's a pic:

 

Bro, Please send more pics. You rarely get to see real life photos of the kit. Your right, it doesn't look half bad with the seam.
Post lots of pics and close ups! Thanks.

 

dont know if you just like the ings half kit or not, but all kits other than the 3 I mentioned will cover half the bumper just like that. prices should all be comparable.

 

Nah dude just get this bumper. best I have seen

not feelin that kit at all

 

You know...when I first saw the kit a few months ago I wasn't feeling it at all, but for some reason I think, with the right wheels, it could loo really smooth
