Bumper costs about $200 unpainted, something to think about maybe...

The bumper costs $350 unpainted and is a special order. I'd rather paint it then put vinyl.

I've been looking for it but can't find it.

I really wouldn't add anything to the car unless it's TRD. I honestly hate everything aftermarket when it comes to the body. Unless it's a very high grade CF.

I thought it was as well but that's just the reflection.

Did you get a police report or anything?

If your crash doesn't happen to be in a police path they won't show up unless there is injury involved.

I'm taking it to my shop again to see if he can paint paint it black and make it look good. if not I'm not really convinced so far by the look of after market diffusers.

You can always get the carbon fiber overlay piece

IDK about shipping costs, but $180 unpainted here...

Is this the same as this: http://www.body-kitz.com/contents/en...r_Bumpers.html ??? If yes, does anyone know about the quality?

Unfortunately you're looking at around $750 in repairs if it's just the bumper cover. I had similar damage and all the quotes were within $1 of each other as it seems most body shops use the same estimating programs. However, it appears your exhuast tip is smashed as well so your repairs will likely be more. I don't think the other party realizes the cost of these repairs and I would submit it to your insurance company to pursue. Best of luck!

Can't you just replace the plastic diffuser by it self?


Edit: Nvm, those are all just covers.

How long was the process for you to get your deductible back from the other insurance company? I really don't want to pay any money out of my pocket to fix damages that I didn't cause. The other insurance company already gave me an estimate and haven't gave me the thumbs up to go fix it yet.

My situation was a little different as the transport company caused the damage and cut a check fairly quickly. I completly understand about paying for damages you didn't cause though and hope your situation is resolved and the repairs completed quickly!

TRD exhaust looks nice, but not all of them look bad the Seibon TB Style Carbon Fiber Rear Lip looks pretty nice but not rice I think you should get at least $700 from him to pay for it even if you want to go OEM.

Gosh, I guess it must be the blue brz, getting rear ended a lot. You're looking at $750 (had the same story- black part damaged).

[Demotic]

In my area they are all between 900-950. Even Toyota itself quoted me $945.
