A friend of mine had her car backed into at work, here in West Bend yesterday. A couple of teenage girls in a burgundy Dodge Caravan backed into her Accord and took off. Her rear bumper is all fvcked up, and with her 1K deductible, it'll be cheaper for me to find a replacement and do it myself.
I was looking online and came across this
http://www.usautobodyparts.com/display.php?manufacturer=HONDA&model=ACCORD+%282003-2007%29&year=2005#
If you scroll down, you'll see there's 2 different kinds of rear bumpers available. Both are primed, but one is ~$55, and the other ~$95. The $95 one is "CAPA".... which is the certified automotive parts assoc certified one or some shit...
Is it worth getting that one for nearly double the price?
Is the quality that much better?
Do you think its worth having them paint it black for the $180 they charge?
Anywhere else I should look for a bumper?
I suppose I could try the salvage yards in SE WI, first.... That'd probably be easier, quicker, and cheaper.
Thanks
Brian
