    I need a new front bumper and someone is claiming they can do it for 1000, is this possible? The numbers I heard were 2-3 times that.

    It's not just a bumper. There's sensors in the bumper. If the grill is also damaged, then the radar could also be damaged.

    And it all needs to be calibrated. I wouldn't trust anybody who claims they can do it for cheap.

    My bumper had to be replaced twice because it was hit twice by two different idiots. Each time it cost $4k to $5k to do it all.

    I’m old enough to wonder why the heck we still call them “bumpers”…

    something comes to mind, thought I’d try a fledgling foray into ChatGPT:
