    We have a 2011 Prius that accidentally bumped a large rock at a low speed while parking. The damage seems to be only to the rubber bumper cover and not the underlying metal structure.

    We are looking for recommendations for a high quality painted replacement front pumper cover that will ship to our door. We plan to DIY install.

    Thanks!

    I've bought them on ebay before and believe it or not it actually arrives with fresh paint and folded up... No issues and it turned out great. Of course it was for a white Prius, so probably less hassles with imperfections compared to other colors. But what's wrong with your existing bumper cover. If its dented then just heat it up with a heat gun and get your hand or some tools behind it and pop it out.
