Front Bumper

[aeathb]

I have a 2008 Toyota 4runner SR5 v8 with fog lights in Galactic Gray Mica, and some dumb...idiot :bash: decided to run into my right side with a tailor hitch and drive away really fast. Toyota quoted the bumper at $750. My insurance was willing to cover it; however, a $500 deducible didn't really help. Does anyone know a place who sells front bumper (possibly painted) for cheaper? Thanks in advance!!

if that 750 includes painted & installed, in my opinion, id say get it. even if you got one off ebay for under 200, after having it painted , you'ed be around the 500 . at least its a gen. toyota part, some places sell the knockoffs that are much thinner material. you might get a cheaper price at a private shop, but they will charge more for the gen. toyota part also. you can get the knockoff , paint it yourself for around 300 & save money, but it may not end up looking like a factory job.

I was looking on the internet and found this PartsTrain.com - Hard to Find Auto Parts and Truck Parts -. Any thoughts?

fitment & quality is always a possible issue with non gen. toyota parts. 51 bux is insanely cheap, id be careful

Thanks everyone for your input. I suppose I will spoon out the $500 and get something that works.
