Wasn't sure where to post this. I have significant rock damage on my front bumper and hood, and the shop said it would be cheaper to get a new bumper than to try and refinish and repaint over all that surface repair material.

Their list price for an oem 2007 bumper cover is like $345, but I know I've seen them for ~ $250 on certain sites. Problem is I'm having trouble finding any.

I would also be interested if anyone is selling either an OEM unpainted 07-08 front bumper cover, or a used 07-08 BW5 (SM Blue) bumper (with as little damage as poss).

If anyone knows a good place to get a bumper, or has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

you have the HR so jus do it,=)

 

Thanks for the links, guys. Still can't seem to find one for less than $290 - $300.

What do I need to do to make a WTB thread? Whenever I hit "New Post" it says I don't have permission.

 

If your looking for the cheapest bumper...steal one!

 

As per the forum rules you will need to become a premium member or wait 90-days to make a thread.

Your other option is to make one in your regional marketplace:

strafe automotive try @.com or looking on g35driver i can vouche for them i own their v2

 

Got it, thanks.

 

Wow, the price on that site is decent ($269), but the shipping is only $6.99 for Fedex ground??? Is that right?

 

Yep

 

Brogan07,

Besides the aforementioned suggestion of stealing a front bumper off of an unsuspecting Z (), I would check out nissanpartszone.com. They usually have some of the best prices around on OEM Z parts..


Have you also tried fleaBay yet? I know that there's a lot of unscrupulous elements lurking around but I have heard of some people coming up on legit deals on there

 

Seems most of these sites have good prices, but the front bumper qualifies as an oversized item, so they all want another $225-$250 on top.

There was one on Ebay I saw for about $50 less, but there was no answer on the phone, and I find it difficult to imagine it wouldn't be a similar charge for oversized shipping.

Looks like I'll just have the Nissan shop order the part an do the work. I flirted with the idea of the nismo v3 or other aftermarket, but I'm happy with the stock front, plus I got a set of blacked out corners to put in, so I think I'll be happy.

Thanks again for the suggestions guys.
