I had an accident and as you can tell by my signature, I'm in need of a new front-bumper. I've found this at ebay.com and was wondering if this was a good deal?

"WILL PAINT IT ANY STOCK ACURA COLOR IN OUR BODY AND PAINT SHOP ALL PAINTING IS DONE IN BASE COAT COLOR AND CLEAR COAT TOP COAT ALL PAINTING"

Its $200 total including shipping. What I want to know is whether a base coat and clear coat is enough? It's only the top section of the bumper and I think it's a rip-off. Anyone?

As long as their feedback is good that sounds like a really good deal. I would check with their warranty and their policy on returns. But considering the price of OEM Bodykits from Radley Acura ($349 shipped) that sounds like a really good deal.

 

But the thing is, that's only the upper bumper part.

There are a few auctions by the same seller as the above who's selling the front and lower bumper for $200 shipped as well, but without paint.

I'm thinking a decent paint job for the front will be an additional ~$100.
May be I should buy a used one.

EDIT: they're "OEM Style" , not OEM btw.

Oops, I looked at the picture real quick and I didn't notice it wasn't the full front bumper. Have you had any luck finding front pieces and if so how much? Me personally, I'd either try to get one online or try finding some at local junkyards. Good luck!

 

Yeah, screw ebay.

I'm going to try and buy a used one instead.
