I fix stuff like that for a living, most a lot worse than this, don't feel bad it happens to a lot of people. Anytime you mess-up and it is a bolt on easy fix its a good lessen learned!

Ya I'm glad it's just bolt on and I didn't mess up the whole bumper.

Ya I'm glad it's just bolt piece and not the whole bumper. Do you do all kinds of body work?

Yes I am a heavy collision specialist. I do insurance work and all aspects of auto body repair and auto service at my shop.

I buy wrecks, some salvage/ total losses and rebuild them on the side, most go to family or close friends, but I have sold a few.

i knew a guy who did that he had a lambo he had redone he did great work to it, he also told me the bumpper alone was 13,000

and from a shop what is the average round about cost of paint a car another color, say i decided to paint my truck white? i know the cost of paint is pretty expensive, since my dad and i painted my zx6r but that was in a garage and wouldnt have the space to paint a truck. or maybe even a rough average cost on re doing the swb paint?

There are various products for making the black plastic look black again, such as Meguiar's Back to Black. I typically used this on my last Tacoma that had a step-side bed and a lot of black plastic steps.

I use that. I just don't think a new piece by the old pieces could look right . Did you like the back to black. It just don't seem to do a good job like I would like. It dries out kinda and they fade maybe my trim is just too far gone for it.

Back-to-Black worked OK for me. After a good washing, waxing, and "back-to-black" session, my truck looked pretty nice. However, by the next time I washed it, the black plastic was already looking mildly faded again. Note that I live in Wisconsin so the sun might not be has harsh up here.

The Texas sun brings the heat. Maybe that's my problem with it.
