Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My rear bumper is damaged dented in about 4 inches in on the very right corner. I live in southern California, and was wondering where I should look for to buy a new replacement rear bumper at a good reasonable price. I'm not looking to get anything out of the ordinary like a body kit, just want my boxster to look the way I got it. I have a 1999 model boxster. If anyone who lives in the area knows a good place give me a PM or post on this thread. Any information regarding cost for a replacement would be nice too thank you.

POST 2Original post

You can see if a dent repair specialist can fix it. Should cost a heck of a lot less than buying a new bumper.

POST 3Original post

Another option would be salvage/junk yards. You can find perfectly good parts for a fraction of the cost of a new bumper.

POST 4Original post

I had this fixed by a mobile paintless dent repair guy. I think it was about $250. Not perfect, but can't tell from 5' unless you really lookl close. Don't ask me how. All fixed.

POST 5Original post

I agree on the dent specialists. I believe they use heat in working the dent back into shape. LA Dismantlers may have a bumper and also ebay.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's cracked around and in the dent but thanks for the suggestions I will go and see if they can do something.

POST 7Original post

My shop is able to repair damage to bumper's like the one shown in the picture. We have been in the bumper repair business for over 50 years. A job like this would cost about $200. Feel free to visit our website at Chrome 1 . We are located in the socal area.
