paint or replace?

[jkeith72]

The bumper cover on my 07 SE is pretty beat up from highway miles. im trying to decide if i should replace it (with 2010 bumper) and have it painted, or have a paint shop sand and paint it. The other option would be an aftermarket cover...they sell them on ebay painted or primed. I dont want to spend a crap load of money...just want it to look good like the rest of the car. Any input appreciated.

repaint it. But in the end...

Its up to you..

2010 cover will mean more mods than just the cover. i say repaint.

If U just paint the front than it won't really match so it's better to pain the entire car. Junk yard with the same color as yours might be a better solution. Highway debris can really kill the front.

If you're getting 2010, it will require you to get new headlights as well. Go take a look at the Gen 6 to 6.5 conversion thread.

If you don't want to spend atleast a grand, I suggest you take it to a shop and repaint it...

I would repaint. A good shop who does good work will charge around 500.

I have to do mine too next summer and i'm repainting it.

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning towards repainting, but wasnt sure if the 6.5 conversion was cost effective. Looks like I will paint. Be a good time to get new fog lights as well....pretty loose and pitted.
