I just got rear ended today by some idiot in a toyota celica the older body style like 91-92 there was no damage to the paint at all and my bumper still looks the same the only problem now is that I have 2 screws sticking out of the back bumper ( his liscence plate holder screws ) it kinda looks funny because it looks like someone took 2 screws and rammed them in backwards into the bumper there are no cracks or nothing just 2 perfect circles

does anyone know where I can get a new bumper or does anyone have a body kit and want to sell there stock rear bumper my car is black I'm running low on cash thats why I would prefer to buy a used one and preferably from you guys since I know all the cars in this site are in excellent condition and if no one has one do you know where I can get one for cheap or should I just go with an after market one?

Man these idiots can't drive if there life depended on it. He was probably to busy staring at your sweet ride

Did you get a police report? I feel like since he hit you, his insurance should pay for a new bumper or fix your old one.

But if you still insist on buying one you can always check with Steve .

biggie,
have you thought about a small amount of body filler and getting some touch up paint? if it is that small I would go with this. why spend 200-700 on a new bumper...I think Bondo runs $4 and touch up paint $7. just trying to see a quick fix w/o costing you an arm and a leg

For the $200 you got from him you should be able to get a body shop to patch/paint it. Try asking around.
