Bumper Cover Replacement (2008 Cobalt)
Recently had a nice spill with the ice this winter. Ended up sliding my cobalt into a pile of bricks beside a mailbox... randomly placed for me to hit I assume. Didn't know where to post this so I'm putting it here.
The Damage: The front bumper cover is cracked where the under plastic grill is. The crack is about 6 inches long, but it's so thin it's unnoticeable from a distance of about 20 feet. However, the grill/cover popped out of the bumper cover and ended up being broken in several places.. completely useless now. The bumper also 'bowed' I believe when it popped the grill out and it's now cracked about 2 inches within the hole where the bumper cover grill was. So bondo'ing i believe is out of the question unless you guys know better. Now I've seen bumper cover's out there for sale from $150-$250 which is great, cause that's not a big issue as far as money goes. However, I believe the bank breaker will be having it painted again. Because most of those bumpers come only primered. Anyone know the cost of getting a bumper cover painted factory white (yes GM has like 12 codes for white) and have they had a simular problem or solution? Also, is there a place to get the factory white 2008 cobalt sport bumper cover? The grills themselves, which pop right in, only run like $15.. so thats the least of my worries. Any feedback would be awesome. |
just trying to help here;
you might want to go to your profile and fill out more information. your current "location" is a smidge too vague for anyone to chime in even if they can help you out. |
Oops, good call. Just updated everything. Used a factory pic for now.. exactly what it looks like anyways. Will upload some more tomorrow :D

call up your local smaller car dealer, doesnt have to be chevy or GM, call them up and see if they have the number to a mobile painter they use. If they do, then get in touch with that guy. if your cars white itll come out fine, and itll be 1/3 of the price of a body shop.
