infamous805187 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I need a new rear bumper for my 93 sts. any ideas on how much this will run me. I cant get it painted til I get this part obviously, but a crazy price will put off the painting anyways. by the way I got an estimate from two sources both roughly 2800 minus the bumper is this what I should be paying for a quality shine?

You can get a new STS bumper cover on Ebay for about 150. It should not cost more than 250-300 to paint. It's pretty easy to remove and replace. Try this Ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/92-97-CADILLAC-SEVILLE...1QQcmdZViewItem I need a new rear bumper for my 93 sts. any ideas on how much this will run me.

By the way I am not connected to the Ebay seller in any way. Shop around and get the best deal!.......Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infamous805187 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 that sounds a little cheap for a paint job, will that really get the job done? I was expecting to pay something near 2,000 does it differ by area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting to pay something near 2,000 does it differ by area? I am sorry, I guess I read your post to quick. I thought you meant just the bumper...not the whole car . You can spend any where between 2000 to 5000 or more on a quality paint job! Sorry again....Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fred Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Oh hell yes you can spend 2k just getting started for a complete repaint and they won't even want to do the jambs and such things.. that said, a complete refinishing is the right way to fix it if you go that route. I am a big old fan of finding a piece from a similar car and installing that.. Climate variations and owner garaging habits do make a difference, BUT, 90+% of the time you will end up with just almost a perfect match. I can't imagine that you'd spend more than something in the low hundreds for a bumper.. but I guess they are high some times. Sometimes you can find a totalled to hell similar automobile for around a grand or two though (maybe alot less) so that would be well worth it for all of the potential future savings on parts and you'd get a good matching replacement bumper MerryChristmas Be a Capitalist or work for one.
