Default WTB: Front Bumper

Hey, Im looking for a front bumper for a 2005 S2000. doesn't matter what color but it needs to be in good shape for a repaint. Does anyone know where I can get one fairly quickly? Or is anyone looking at parting there's out over the winter so they can get an aftermarket one later?

Here's the story, I kind of need one quick after a tire place in town curbed the bumper on my car. They said they are willing to cover the cost in re-painting the bumper and getting it fixed. The issue is, the bumper on my car already had work done to it previously. Had some filler in spots and the clip below the right headlight is missing. So I was kind of hoping the get one that's in good condition re-painted while they are doing it. The only thing is, I need one fairly quick, within a week.

Honda wants $640 for an unprimed and unpainted bumper.

What are my other options to get one fairly quick. without spending big bucks?

He's right...


Option #1. Call your insurance company. Fax them a quote for a new bumper and paint.
Option #2. Tell tireshop that you're going to call insurance unless they fall into line. Fax them a quote for a new bumper and paint.

Well they are willing ti re-paint it that's not the issue. But the clips were already broken by the previous owner of the vehicle. I figured if they are painting it, I would get them to paint a bumper with good clips.

I'd love a new bumper from honda, but because most of the clips were messed prior to the hit, the only thing they will fix is the paint. That's why I'm looking for an alternative bumper for cheaper.
