Question is unclear....because nowadays cars have what are more aptly described as cushions, not bumpers (they or not built to be bumped), which is covered cosmetically with a painted/repainted plastic skin/cover. Having to replace means that the former one was destroyed in a collision that exceeded the 2mph Federal safe-recoil limit (which would require only a cover replacement and/$or refinish. A shop that entices you with a "new" one (come-on) at higher price is most likely only seeing you as a potential sucker for extra profit--it's the old, and still commonplace, scare-and-scalp bunco game. Look instead for an over all bumper repair priced at about $6-7 hundred or below. Do not expect warranty because it will not be given--and even if it is offered it will be a dupe's warranty (meaning not worth the words spoken or paper written on). Oh sure, they might let you buy a warranty, but that's like buying "bumpers" you probably won't ever need.

Have you considered ordering a new part online? It's brand new and you can choose to have it painted before getting shipped out to you - so all you have to do is install the bumper yourself or take it to a body shop to put on for you. Especially since your car is a 2013, you won't have any issues with color-matching.

Here is where you can buy the painted bumper: www.revemoto.com. You will save a lot more money this way compared to going the traditional route - getting a body shop to paint and put on the bumper.

Hope that helps!

Its really just a bumper cover. There is a solid piece of foam behind the bumper cover. Lots of places sell after market bumper covers and that's what I would personally go with. Hope this helps

depends where they get it....I know for my car you can order a factory bumper for 20% of what the dealer would charge for it online. do your HW for your specific car...

but the re-manufactured bumper COVER will be fine, that's just the fiberglass "shell" that get's painted. Won't make a difference who makes the bumper, it's the paint job that really matters.

They are probably quoting you prices for aftermarket or remanufactured, a new OE bumper would be a lot more.

A shop I worked at dealt with those remanufactured bumpers, I never seen any problem with them just they give us the wrong bumper just about every time and it drove the boss nuts.

They are going to a chop shop because your bumper is no longer made rather than try to fix the one you got. it is a lot cheaper for them in labor cost. It is not that big of a deal If insurance is paying for it there is no law that says you need to go for the cheapist

Truth is, your bumper wasn't brand new either, so they are swapping like for like. As long as the job is done properly, I don't see the big deal.

While re-manufactured would be fine, I would go with new since your car is so new. $90.00 doesn't mean much to me though and it might be a lot for you. Just make sure they warranty the bumper.

If it's your $90, it matters. If it's an insurance claim, get OEM, brand new and make sure the paint matches exactly.

A re-manufactured bumper would be fine as a new one or re-manufactured would have to be primed, painted and clear-coated anyway.

how old is the car ? how about get prices for both then go to the scrap yard and see how much one cost there most likely half price

good luck
