first accident
so got in a small fender bender first time since got my liscense. so few questions. alls i have is some deep scratches and hole in front bumper. it was a clipping and everything feels tight and secure not a mjor hit. safe to assume i should only need a new bumper or could the clips behind it still be broke from sumthin that minor? also anyone ever have this done or hear how much it could average cost for a new front bumper installed?

I have seen them as cheap as $150 and I would say just install it yourself.

bumper covers arent hard to take off at all. a lot of clips, but they can be taken out easily with a clip tool. So buy one gmpartsdirect.com and put that sucker on your self!

Duraflex makes a decent OEM replacement, or you could just call your local autowecker and see if they have one. the downside is that most times a car in a wrecking yard is there due to head on collision. but hey its worth a shot.
