Default Best way to repair my bumper

I need to fix the lower part of my nismo v1. I went forward into one of those cement blocks in front of a parking spot, didnt know it was there. The bumper is fiberglass so is this even worth repairing and repainting?

your first post was this? lol anyways... you can repair that. just go get one of those fiberglass repair kits and read up on how to do fiber glass work. that info is everywhere. then youll have to do a lil bondo work afterwards of course. or could just send it to a body shop

I'd take it to a body shop, that should be an easy repair. Probably less than $100 in repair labor plus painting of the bumper and blending. I'm guessing around $400-$500 with a good shop, maybe $150-$300 with a lesser shop.

As a auto body tech id charge 2-3hrs to fix at a 45/hr shop rate. (Nice Chevy dealership) and abt 2.5hrs paint labor plus pain materials. thats abt 250-300 bucks all together. not a bad price if you bring them the bumper and u put it bck on
