Bumper cover

So I got in a little bender - only damage is a crack on my bumper cover.

Going out later today to get some quotes, but what should I be expecting this repair to cost?

I've seen them online for anywhere from $65 to $300+ and that is before painting.

I may not get it repaired, or I may just put it on without painting. My understanding is the paint job is the most expensive part.

Found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Bumper-C...item35b51fbaf6

Even going to their website, they have 3 with prices at $65, 76, and 163 - description on all of them are the same, so I don't know what the difference is.

I would say try to find one at your local junkyard in good condition, some aftermarket ones be one the money and some don't, but the one that cost more money are the Certified to meet OEM standards or better...GL....

Make sure you get a CAPA certified Bumper or your going to have fitment issues.

^ rockauto has the same stuff as ebay, you just have to chose either it is CAPA certified or not
I prefer and recommend everyone to get OEM, even used from junkyard, but still OEM parts
