Okay guys... thanks to someone's rear hitch receiver I now have a nice big imprint of a 2" square imbedded firmly in the lower bumper cover in the raised portion on the passenger side. (In the spot where a sport bumper trim would mount) They must have backed into me in a parking lot, and probably didn't realize they did anything. It looks like replacement lower cover will run about $80 for the part on partznet.
My question: How hard is it to remove/replace the lower bumper cover? Is this something I'm better of leaving to a body shop to do? Not worth filing an insurance claim, but how much do you think the labor would run?
It's part #25 in the photo
<B>UPDATE 9/21: I'm leaving it up to the local body shop to fix. Repair Estimate came back at $347.02 The lower cover was in stock locally for $102.17 for the part and the remainder is paint, labor and materials.</B> Next investment is a frontrunner or bull bar if I end up having to keep the 4R.
