lucky for you that estimate is high. Between my ZL1 conv., my back bumper being repaired and repainted, and new diffuser (installed and painted) My bill was only 1,800.

Cari, that estimate is very high. New front bumper cost less than $300


Edit: Sorry made a mistake the front bumper is closer to $500, but still that is very high.

Daaaang, Adam thought it would be arounf $1,000.

I mean obviously we won't be having it done at those places. Found a black v6 bumper on here that I can get for maybe $300 then we'll install it ourselves. Have $700 leftover.

We went to 2 different places, They both have the bumper for $404 on the estimate.

That is a better idea.
