    Well I got quoted 600 to respray the front and rear bumpers as well as side skirts. So I'm guessing you'll pay maybe 150-200 for the respray of the rear bumper alone. You could try and get a good used bumper of a wreck.

    Is it a standard bumper (urethane) or fibreglass? Is it aftermarket?
    How bad is the damage?

    My opinion. If not too bad, and a standard Zed color, and if you know a good spraypainter, then you may be able to get it fixed for less than $500.

    If NO to any of these, then I'm guessing you'll pay somewhere towards what I'm paying for my front bar respray.

    Cheers,

    Peter

    I can get you the name of a guy in Slacks Creek who

    fixes urethane bars. My front bar cost $300 to be removed, sprayed and fitted at Apollo Spray Painters at Underwood.

    Also, isn't someone selling a stock rear bar on the forum? Check the for sale section.

    Someone's reveresed in to the back of me three times now, each time just hit it enough to leave cracks and some clearish scratches on the rear lights...

    Each time i've replaced them, each time its happened again in a couple of weeks...ive given up...still got 4 cracks in my rear brakes atm...
