I work at a body shop some. That price seems rediculous to me. I think Jerry's bumpers makes an identical replica oem bumper for $234 retail. It is oem quality as well. Either way, that is insanely high. I would say 600-800 for a new bumper and paint.

I called the honda dealership for a brand new my04 unapinted bumper and it was only around $220 so paint/prep cannot be $7-800....

Thanks guys... Going to continue looking around... Any ideas as far as whether replacing the bumper is necessary?

check out the for sale forums...they have a ton of stuff for sale, and if you dont find what you are looking for post what you want in the :wanted to buy forum
1000-600$ is just WAY to high for just painting the bumper
you can as you said just bring them the bumper to paint and you install it yourself....if so then they should charge you around 250-300$ for paint (im being generous here)

Just when I thought I'd hit the ceiling... Went to another shop for an estimate...

Replace Bumper, blend fenders and hood...

$1850!!!!

How bad is Maaco if I just give them a primered bumper to spray? Am I a terrible person for even asking?
