Hello everyone. I got into a small collision and now I am looking into replacing my front bumper. I have an 09 Yaris 3DR Hatchback. So I need any suggestions to what to do with this. I am interested in both OEM and Aftermarket replacements. Please let me know where I could start looking for bumpers that will fit my Yaris. I am looking for some cheap solutions so going to the dealership is out of question haha. Thanks!!!

$169 for a new toyota bumper (granted, it's an 08, but if you call them on the phone they can probably do an 09 for the same price)

that's unbeatable IMO

Took it to a shop near by, $166 for the bumper, and after parts and labor with paint and all it's like $521 total for the repair. Time to get a job flipping burgers...great.

Same thing happened to me, so I bought the burnout bumper from garm, however I had a $500 deductible, so It wouldnt have been covered regardless.

you can always just put the bumper on now, then get it painted when you have more $$.

please don't do this.


you should be able to get the bumper painted for around $150 MAX.

go to another body shop, but this time, walk around back and look for a guy taking a smoke break ;)
