How much can I expect for a replacement on an 08 Shadow Mica? My guess would be $250-350 painted & installed.

Nope, you are very low. The part costs that much, you can expect to pay at least that amount in painting too, that is if you install it yourself. At least $500+.

I'm on my 3rd rear bumper cover, thank you NYC parrell parkers.
 
How bad is the damage? LOTS of bumper covers are repairable. Most shops will tell you to replace because they make a quick buck, that's why us insurance adjuster's have jobs. Anyway, find a good shop and ask them to FIX the cover rather than replace. A shop with a good body man will prefer to repair it, they make more money on the labor vs. the 20% mark up on the factory part. Just a thought. If the cover is demolished, the labor needed to fix it may make it cheaper to go ahead and replace. Put a pic up and I'll tell you if it can be fixed. I'll even give you an estimate if you like. Good luck with your repairs!
 
Ouch; I'll have to look into repair/repaint. I didn't have quite enough clearance turning into the garage. Scrapped up the front right corner, a good deep gouge too. I might just change my story and call it a 'trail scar' and leave it for now. Thanks guys.
 
I've been quoted around $800 for 1 rear corner bumper piece, and center bumper piece, new OEM part, painted and installed. I think you'd be closer to this also.

How about Schrockworks, ARB or Perkins Performance Front Bumper instead.

Of course you would need to upgrade your suspension to support the weight.
