tragedy on my bumper advice needed

[hobbesboarder]

i was driving on the free way when all of the sudden i see a blown out tire flying through the air. i had no time to react and i stared in horror as the tire slammed against the front bumper of my car. NOOOOO! i was lucky the only damage to the car was my bumper. it is completely mutilated. well im not sure if im gonna get a bodykit bumper or stock one. the only thing is i think most bodykits look ridiculous and they are expensive and u have to get them painted. if i bought a new replacement bumper it would cost around 200 bucks and id have to get it painted also. i was thinking about getting a used bumper like from a wrecking yard and it wouldnt be that hard to find one in red so no paint. please help i have a red 95 civic Ex and i need advice from the wise.

where do you live? this local body shop where I live sells new bumper covers for like $75 unpainted. Thier sub-contract built, so their not OEM, but their exactly the same thing. Just ask around, there should be a body shop around where you live that will sell you the bumper cover for cheaper than Honda. If not, make sure and get a body kit thats not huge and ugly and please get it painted before you put it on!

I'll sell you my black bumper from my 95 EX for $100. Good deal. Cheap! You buy now! :jump:

Well well well, look who it is. You should of somehow gotten that damn guys insurance information, it would of covered it most likely. But it doesnt look that bad (Ive seen it) so I would think save up the money until you can afford a nice mild body kit or just spring for the OEM one. By the way, cars looking damn nice now that you have the coil overs on it.

if you were going to put on a body kit in the future you might as well start now.
