3 weeks into owning the car and someone backed into my bumper and cracked it..

How hard would it be to replace the bumper cover on my 2010 SV myself?

I am pretty mechanically inclined, but do not want to do this if any special tools are needed.

Ahh! That sucks!

I freakin hate people.

Know who did it? Insurance?

 

I keep a high deductible ($1000.00) on my insurance because I never hit anything... knock on wood. The bumper cover replacement shouldnt cost that much.

 

I just replaced my front cover. I wanted to it myself but paid instead. I believe a couple rivets are required.

 

Yeah, had my rear BC replaced after being smacked by a texting F/M driver back in 01/11. Insurance paid and it was under $900.00.
My big "BRAIN FART" was I should have kept the damaged one as it was totally repairable and could have be used (off car) for diffuser type modifications...Duh!!!

 

I wanted to keep too so I could test some mods. Was too big to fit in the car. Bumper, paint and installation was $580.
