    I need to replace the front bumper cover on my 2008. Standard model - not touring. Any recommendations on where I can buy a replacement? Can you get it pre-painted?

    Yep I don't think it'll come prepainted but you can buy it from lots of body shop supply places online is good The places that run the little trucks to the body shop like eagle automotive and what not the supply all the bumpers and trim and fasteners to body shops they will have a listing for that bumper cover and can have it probably overnight same day whatever I'm online You may while you're doing this you may want to buy the black clips on the very front of the car just below the headlights they're held on with 10 mm screws I believe are 10 mm heads 6 mm screw threads this is what your front bumper comfort clicks into and usually these things at this age the little tabs inside of them are holding so well anymore they're pretty inexpensive I would recommend it If you don't want to do that you can put some glue on the edge of the new bumper cover apply it to the slot when you mount it but a piece of tape over it overnight feel the tape off carefully in the morning and you should be golden for years.
