got hit and run in my neighborhood and rear bumper is cracked real bad. dont think its repairable and i dont want to call the insurance company.

where do you guys suggest getting a replacement OEM bumper and what is the best method to paint it? i would like the original Honda paint also...

what do you guys think i should do?

 

Order one from the dealer for quality or a painted one from ebay if you want to go cheaper.

 

are there specific ones that i can order from another website that is OEM? i was wondering what websites u guys recommend for cheap, oem parts.

where can i go to get it painted w/ the OEM honda paint?

i can go to the dealer, but they charge an arm & and leg for parts

 

Yeah there are a few Honda dealers that sell discounted parts online, but not by much.

Google Majestic Honda or South Bay Honda, they should come prepainted.

 

The words "OEM" and "cheap" should not ever be used in the same sentence.
If I were you I would use aftermarket or find a used OEM one. Aftermarket is just as good as OEM for things like bumpers. If you decided to let your insurance handle it, your insurance company would not pay for OEM for a bumper since there is so much aftermarket support or they could find a used OEM one with no damage on it. Insurance companies use LKQ (like kind and quality) parts

 

Aftermarket bumpers crack easier compared to OEM and I thought insurance companies are required to only repair with OEM parts. They are required to do that here...

 

the dealer gave me a price of $295 for the bumper, do you think this includes installation? i know they said i need to pay for painting also...

the total price for it would be like $500?

 

probably not, thats a ridiculous price though. Id get an estimate from a body shop

 

$295 does not include paint or instillation. They will just hand you the bumper and say here you go.

As for what Finch said with Majestic Honda. They do not ship bumpers, I have learned that one the hard way.
