I will post some pictures as soon as I get a chance to take some. That will provide a much better explanation.

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.
