I need a new front bumper

My car was backed into and a trailer hitch went through it.

Any online sites sell the factory front bumper already painted?

you can check on ebay too. may be easier to find a primed one and get a shop to paint it for you. this way you also dont have a front bumper with Nissans super soft clearcoat on it, you can get the paintshop to use better paint that wont chip up. great idea for a front bumper too

All the places that have the pre painted ones rant worth it. The color might be off and you don't know what kind of paint was used. I'd go with a prime red one an have a shop paint it for you.

if the car was backed into, let their insurance cover it.

Hit and run. I got a $500 deduct, so pretty much on me to fix it.

We guarantee fitment of all parts that we stock and sell. If your part does not fit as OEM, we will promptly send you a replacement free of charge once pictures are received of any fit issues.
Most parts we sell are CAPA certified which means they are guaranteed to fit as OEM from the factory.

Not OEM but... especially if you're paying for it. it'll likely run several hundred more to paint and what-not...

Anyway you look at it. It's gonna cost you $400.00. Buy the factory one and get it painted!! It will fit perfect and be painted to match your car!!

$354 painted is not a bad deal, only problem is your chancing the paint. If you car is black, you good, but for me mine is Presicion Grey metalic an id be taking a bigger risk.
