Dent in rear bumper, What shall I do

[seanvot]

 

 

 

 

My first post, just put a nice dent in my bumper yay. The parking assist sensors still function and everything works fine. I think I just need the plastic surrounding and the steel chrome bumper peice, but I'm really not sure. Can the bumper be easily taken apart and fixed like this or should I get a whole new bumper?

 

I have seen just the steel chrome bumper peices sold separately on eBay for pretty cheap but not sure on quality. I would like to keep the cost low. I appreciate any help thanks for ya time

You need a new outer chrome bumper face bar along with a new step pad for the top. May be able to just straighten the sub structure if it's not bent hard.

new bumper and use a heat gun and flatten out old plastics

Color match a new bumper.

Get a new chrome bumper shell and top pad. Spend an afternoon and transfer the all the old pieces to the new bumper. Theres no braces or brackets behind that area of the bumper that you have to worry about being bent.

Lucky you!! On 12/1 I was approaching a red light and stopped, and a nice old lady decided to slam into the azz end of my '16 Silverado Z71, which btw has just shy of 2,500 miles on it Bumper replacement painted, along with the plastic steps/trim is about $2,000 parts + labor.

Thanks for all the replies. I do want to color match all of my chrome but would be a little pricey for me right now. I'm just focusing on repairing this dent for now.

 

I'm going to look through craigslist later tonight to see if there are any deals. I would rather not have to pay the price for those two parts brand new.

got a 2nd estimate from a dealer... just under $1,300. Best part is​ HER ins. co. gets to pay for it (o:

 

I am a bit sad, well pissed is more like it. But like yours, fortuneatly only the bumper got damaged.

I can't find any rear bumpers or part-outs on Craigslist close to me. A local salvage yard called me back and said they have a rear bumper off a 2014 Silverado that is chrome and has parking sensors $800 price tag. What do you all think? On the other hand I can order just the 2 parts brand new for $635. I don't know what else to do

This is few hours away but seems well worth it to me to make the drive.

Take the cash and buy a bumper of Houston area CL. No shortage of GM truck parts there. Use the leftover grand on hookers.

Take it off, bang it out as good as you can and put it back on. It is a truck bumper, it should have little dings or dents if used. This is also why painted sucks, if you so much as breath on it the thing scuffs, chips, cracks or rubs away. Chrome is much tougher.

 

Did the same thing when I backed in to a poll in HS, could barely tell it was there the chrome made it hard to see. To each their own though...
