So we got some ice here in the northeast this morning. I made almost the whole 20 mile drive to work when I hit my first unseen patch. Unfortunately for me, it was going around a corner and down a hill.
I hit a guardrail and now I need a new front bumper.
From what I have been able to determine, new OEM bumpers with bumper ends are $400+. Does that sound right?
I would buy used, but I did some body damage too and am having insurance take care of it. Now is a good time for an upgrade I think.
I can probably talk my insurance into letting me buy the bumper to cover my deductable ($500), and then pay a little out of pocket to cover any additional.
This leaves me two questions.
1. How much do you guys think the insurance company (USAA) would price out a front OEM bumper plus one bumper end?
2. I am not a big fan of the ARB, but I do want something similar. I have seen several custom ones that I like. What have people here bought in the $500-700 range?
Thanks.
