I drive a 2005 Dodge Stratus sedan as a company car. This morning on my way to work I slid on some ice and hit a pole that cracked the bumper. Rather than report it to insurance and take the hit on my rates, I would rather pay out of pocket to replace the bumper myself. Where is the cheapest place to get a bumper (the selection on ebay that fit an 05 modelwas 'limited' at best) and if I can't find one that is colormatched how much should it cost to have it painted silver to match the car?

I'm going to call some junkyards this afternoon to see if they have anything but I'm open to other ideas.

Thanks in advance.

 

I used to run a body shop and if I were you, I'd give 'em a call. (Some are much cheaper than others.)

Most will know where to find the cheapest LKQ parts and where to find a good used bumper. It might cost a bit more but will definitely save you time.
