a few weeks ago a bus hit me from behind..
i was wondering where i could get a bumper for 06 honda accord (cheap like manufacturer price or someting like that)
i went to a body shop and they said it would cost me about 450 just to get a new bumper...and im like WTH!?
450 just for a bumper is like a month of payment(+ insurance)
so i imagined if i could buy a bumper from a wrecked car...maybe the front is totally gone but the back is brand new...
does anyone know where they have those cars near la?

$450 is about right, u can try the dealers, they come already painted. or u can buy from places like certifit, theyre cheap oem knockoffs, they have to be painted. u can try junkyards (search car-parts.com), but they dont have many newer cars, and u have to match it to ur paint.

imo its better for u to buy it from the stealership and suck it up.. ask around if u can get an employee discount.

Isn't the bus company supposed to pay for damages to your car?
