That would get expensive fast.
Thats a lot of work...I don't know if the front bumper is the same as the rear, but when I clipped a jeep driving in the sand I thought the whole bumper needed replacing, but the dealershaip said they were designed that when heated to a certain temp. the bumper reforms its orginal shape. I don't see why they would lie since I didn't pay for it and I know they gave me back the same bumper on my car because whoever had it before me drilled 2 holes in it for the front plate and those 2 holes were still there while the rest of the bumper looked immaculate....and honestly 3000 would not surprise me...there may be more wrong with it than it looks... I clipped the corner of a parked jeep doing 15-20 mph and the total damage was about $8,000!!! The only thing that kept me from driving it was the fact that it cracked my radiator
