A few months ago I got my accord: a silver 05 EX coupe. It had reasonably sized gash (actually more like a hole) in the front bumper, but I got a really good deal on it and the wholesaler said he would get his brother's shop to fix it. I haven't gotten it fixed yet and this morning the back bumper got a similar wound as I accidentally backed into the trailer hitch of our Odyssey in the driveway. I would like to get it fixed, as it looks very bad, but I cannot reach the wholesaler and I do not want to pay too much.
Does anyone know how much a set of new bumpers might cost?

Sorry I dont have a definitive answer for you but:

Look on ebay. You prolly can find a good unpainted one for 200~. Check with your local body shop too.

I believe there was a recent topic on this?

You could:

A. Go on eBay, or a place like theonlinebodyshop.com and grab a set of painted bumpers from $150-250 each. So total, you are looking at anywhere from $300-500. Then, if you are not mechanically inclined, you may have to pay someone to install them.

B. Body Shop. Your cost will most likely be between $500-700 for each repair, so you're easily looking at over a $1000total. Remember, you get what you pay for. Bumpers are tricky as there needs to be the right amount of flex additive, etc. In rare cases, bumper repairs tend to crack / flake.

C. carparts.com and go the used route. Good luck finding a bumper in good condition.

I personally grabbed a painted front bumper from eBay for $150. It looks good and fit wonderfully. Try searching the user theonlinebodyshop.
