Pre painted aftermarket front bumper cover
I need to replace the front bumper cover in a 2013 Yaris SE. Being the Se trim it is hard to find a salvaged part locally. I can get the OE bumper cover and have it painted for about $850. I see there are options to buy an aftermarket pre painted bumper for around $450 shipped.
I am concerned about the fit and quality of the aftermarket part, and in general the type of paint they use. They also ship it bent in a smaller box, which may not be optimal. I'd appreciate any advice or recommendation. Thanks! |

If you are particular about your car (a true Car Guy), then I suggest getting the cover locally from the dealer and have them paint it (guess that is the $850 est you have). I recently had to change the rear bumper cover on my Avalon, and am so glad I went the dealer route ($940+) because these covers separated from the car are SO FLIMSY and bulky they are easily bent of scratched. Further, I don't know of ANY paint that could hold up being bent/folded 180 degrees without damage much less the bumper material itself being damaged. Also, the dealer will be able to exactly match the factory color.
My $0.02. Good luck. |
