I have an issue that has been bothering me for the past couple of days, i need assisstance asap. 2 days ago i rear ended someones bumper on the highway. It was an 2002 Altima 2.5. Apparently i am paying cash to fix this job and it will need a bumper replacement but i dont know where i can find the cheapest part and labour. The person told me to review my options and tell her what i would like to do, and im trying to find the cheapest method. The body shop charges 600$+ for bumper and paint. I was wonder if its possible to buy the bumper from nissan with the same color as her car and take it to replace it at a shop? would that be cheaper? Or is there anywhere i can buy a used silver bumper that is in good condition? Im a student and i have no job or money, i sincerely ask anyone to help me on this solution. Thank You. ---

I can sell you my rear bumper from my 2002 altima 2.5. It’s black but would need to be repainted but otherwise in good condition. I have a body shop that would be able to paint it for you for about $200 and I’m willing to sell you my rear bumper for $200. So that would save you about $200 right there. Let me know if you are interested. I have a 3.5 bumper waiting to be thrown on since I did a dual exhaust swap and was going to sell the 2.5 bumper next summer but if you like you can have a look at my bumper and we can go from there. ---

Hey Dude. Unfortunatly dealers dont sell painted body parts. Its just not cost effective for them. I think the best thing you could do is call an auto recycler. Shop around, you’d be surprised at what you’ll find at a scrap yard. ---
