I got quoted $1305 by my dealer for parts, labor and paint for a SS/SC rear bumper for my 2.4L. All that it includes is the bumper facia (not the crash absorbing unit), lower lip, paint, and labor.

Is my dealer raping me?

I thought I saw a company in Chicago that sold bumpers painted for under $1000 but you had to pick them up.

Any ideas people? I have some damage to my bumper and I just want to upgrade to get the lip.

 

install it yourself. will save you a few hundred. i got my bumper painted for 250, and they wanted like 750 originally. once i told them i would take the old bumper off and put the new one on the price dropped 500.

 

get the bumper painted somewhere else....and get install through them how much are they charging u for the bumper...I w ant da ss/sc bumper too...i careless for the front lip

 

if that is painted and installed, that is not that bad for a dealer.

 

install is a piece of cake. i never got why people would pay to have things done that are simple. all you need is i think a 8mm wrench and a 10mm wrench and you can do it. there's nothing hard at all. take out all the bolts holding the bumper in, and it comes off. put the new bumper in it's place, and tighten the bolts. first time i ever did it took me about an hour and a half, with beer and cigarette breaks included.

 

^^^ nice break...yea that sounds easy as ****...i just put a light bulb in my passenger light ..i was gonna go to the shop and light bulb whent in my head.." i can do this myself"...just tuggle it and turn it and it comes off and put the new one in lol..

 

yea it's really not that hard. i just think that if people are on a car enthusiast site, there's no reason why they can't do things like put a bumper on, do a cai or exhaust, etc.

 

that is highway robbery.

But if your willing to drive to me, i can get you all brand new parts, paint it and install it for $1000 (parts include: bumper, lip, & lower grills)

 

Cai is probably one of the easiest mods i ever did..besides put the ss/sc wing on

 

Dude, I would if I had time...

 

Raped in the coolie!

 

i got mine for about $1200 paintd installed and labor. lower lip also included

 

a back bumper new primered and ready for paint is 362 and change.. pant is prolly like 2-300 and just put it on your self. and dont order it from a dealer.. order it through a body shop..

 

holy crap..u are gettin rapped...do not bring it there. to give u an idea...u can get it done at a body shop for around 500..if not a lil more than that.

 

are you serious? Maybe to get one painted and installed, but not if your buying new bumper, lip, and grills.

Dealer prices:
Bumper $373.51
Lip $270.40
Grill (lt) $36.18
Grill (rt) $62.49

Total $742.58 <---- that does not include paint materials, or labor to paint, or install labor

 

key words being "dealer prices". no offense to anyone, but if someone was to buy this stuff from the dealer they're an idiot.

Yeah...go to a body shop and check on prices...

 

gm over charges on stuff like that. i get a sweet deal with my friends body shop..but still he is gettin the bumper n such at cost.and wud charge me next to nothing to paint it..

 

i dont know mine came with it

 

I know that you can get the stuff cheaper, i was just making a point that you cant get this done for around $500.

 

haha yes i can. already have been quoted. if i wanted to do new front bumper with lip and rear bumper with lip it would be another 500..my friend hooks me up really well...i mite just only do the front lip...well see

 

holy ****...da bumper amd lip is not even worth it..even i wanted so bad im not paying 1300 dollars for a bumper when u can superchargesd ur 2.4 for that price

 

^ yeah word to that man.

 

i bought both my front and back and side skirt for less than $700 already painted off ebay and here on the forums and installed everything myself

 

yeah the $1305 was paint, labor and parts. I agree with you guys. If I do repalce it, I will buy it separatly and take it to a body shop.

Thanks for the advice.
