Default Where to get front end for AR? Wife just wrecked ours

wife pulled too far into the Post Office parking stall and when backing out it pulled the front bumper cover causing the tabs to pull out on both sides in front of the wheel wells. Also looks like the bottom of the cover is messed up as well. At least not paint damage, but I still can't imagine the fix being a reasonable one.

Default local body shop should be able to get you a bumper if needed.

since those tabs are supposed to be a pull to remove, can you just push them back together? (or did the tabs come off the bumper itself?)

Default Hmmm, my ar on level 2 rides over the curb. Sounds like an easy fix, although not perfect.

If you want it like new, then a body shop is the answer. A new bumper cover may not be needed.

Default from any dealer..

they are about $600.00. Any body shop should be able to get one at a slight discount.

Default Does a new front bumper come painted or not?? I didn't know if

the front/rear bumper covers are painted from new or need to color matched after purchased.

Default must be painted after purchase

There are actually at least two colors of bumper/flares/roof. I recently got a new rear bumper cover installed for $900 out the door. That's with California labor rates.
