Texas Body Shop.

[Ron Thompson]

Stephen, Thanks for the response. does the entire bumper have to be replaced or can it be repaired. The road side end of that bumper was a clean break about 14 plus inches broken off. Maroon color. What would be the cost for either a replacement or repair. Also do you do the repair work or just sell the parts? Don't recall since I am sort of new on this forum where you are located.
