Need help to replace 07 Camry fron bumper

[Iplay]

Hi Guys.

I'm new to the community, I need some help on how to replace my 07 Camry front bumper. Dealer will cause me around $700.00. If I can buy the part and do it myself, it would save me half of the price. Thanks in advance.

If you are in San Diego, I will remove it for a six-pack.
pm me your email address so I can send you the pdf file since I can't do attachment on here.

I doubt it.

The bumper cover will cost you about $260 + tax and it will need to be painted with a flex paint $200-300 + tax.

Labor is the least of the three cost components.

But if he is lucky enough to find it on ebay that match the color of his car for about $170.

Thanks lammydi, I found the service manual, I don't think is that hard to replace it. I had a silver, dealer will cost me $191.00 for the bumper but don't know how much it cost to paint from the body shop. what do you guys think of take it to a paint out side, such as MAACO? I did look up on ebay, most of them were scartched. Thanks for all of your help.

macco will chage you like 270 or something to paint. Thats the quote I got when I asked about having a gen5 bumper painted. I'm still trying to shop around though.

There is a TSB for properly painting bumpers............

Anyone can spray it but it is the prep and match that is critical.

Mine had to be done twice before I would accept the color and metallic match.
