Hey guys
So i just got an 07 SLT 4x4 on sunday. Havnt even burned through a full tank of gas today and was the victim of a hit and run at the mall today. I am absolutely beside myself.
Forgive me if im breaching forum etiquette and there is an actual link for what im looking for somewhere on here, please just send me there if there is, but im hella upset and am looking for an answer asap.
Ive tried googling a source for the OEM bumper replacement and cant seem to find any. Ill post a pic of the damage, cause im not really overly vehicle savvy, though i do not want to go through insurance, nor do i want to take it in for a replacement; ive heard this will be a minimum of $1500 to replace if im lucky, and if i can just buy an aftermarket/oem replacement one and install it myself id much rather that.

To clarify: there appears to be no damage to the frame or anywhere else, the bumper has just cracked and is sitting oddly. As you can see in the pic, there is a gap between the bumper and the headlight.

Ive seen bumper covers listed for sale on craigslist pretty cheap too

 

My bumper cover had similar damage on it when I bought it. The stealership had someone come in, buff/patch/paint the damaged areas and you couldn't tell it happened. 3 hours later, it was good as new.

Go to a dealership and ask who "their guy" is, they should be able to fix you up!

My own bumper has similar damage again, due to a love tap from a parking bollard when the guy behind me wouldn't back up after they closed the pay kiosk. I have to do what was done before!

 

Rock auto has bumper covers starting at $42. Don't forget to use the discount we have with them. Can't beat that price for a brand new bumper cover.

 

I too was a victim of someone hitting my bumper, was my rear one. On the passenger side, dented it in and up, so it's noticeable My truck was so mint! I hope it's just the bumper, not the mounts so I can order a new one in the future and just bolt it right up

 

on my 2004 i picked up a new cover on ebay for 96$ shipped.300 for paint at local shop.about 1 and 1/2 hr to install

 

jkeaton is right on the bumper cover, depending on if the reinforcement is bent you will also need that, which is about $50. just look under and see if the actual metal is bent. easy fix either way.

 

ya thanks guys. i took the bumper off and the metal was bent but turns out i know a guy who is going to bend it back for nothing and fix up my paint, so that will all be relatively cheap. The "middle" of the three parts though, that my fog lights mount to (cover mounts to this piece and in turn to the metal bumper) is right effed. Should i just order that through a dealer or is that a thing i could find online too? if so i have no idea what the proper name of the piece is
EDIT: found it. its the "support bracket". that rock auto site is gold! Thanks a bunch!

 

Rock auto....rocks!
