Unhappy Bumper damage

While cleaning the car up yesterday evening I noticed I must have got hit at some point this week, more than likely at my Apt complex we have very tight parking it was bound to happen. Very minor damage other wise would of noticed earlier, but due to the weather the car was very dirty and could tell anything till I cleaned it up. Im pissed cause now I need a new bumper due to a minor crack and the paint is spidered and I need a new running light as well has a crack also. Im just really pissed that I didnt notice it earlier, its just been a heck of week and yesterday was the first day I stopped and actually had time to wash the car. Oh well I guess now im on the prowl to find an SS bumper or other aftermaket we'll see what happens. Will hopefully get some pics up this evening, to pissed off to do it last night.

There are some very talented bumper repair folks. You will have to replace
the lens, but call around to see if you can get the bumber fixed. I backed
into a split rail fence, and a local guy repaired it so well, I cannot tell
where the damage was.

You might try this member who is on this forum. But it would need to be painted....which probably is the most expensive part of the repair.

You may be able to find a white rear bumper in good condition, then it's just a R & R
