Hi,
I partially pulled of my bumper cover last night backing out of my parent's driveway. I shattered the lense for one fog light.

I'm strongly thinking about replacing the bumper cover. I think its about $214 for the bumper cover, 2.5 hrs labor at the body shop. $500 or so total? I'm also thinking about getting some fog light covers. I saw some listed on subaruparts.com

I'm thinking about the fog light covers that are like what are on the STI. I'd like to be able to put them on/take them off for track events. Is this what I should get? Any other miscellaneous advice (besides I'm a stupid idiot for damaging my car?)

thanks,
-dave

I don't have my digicam. The cover is cracked slightly in one corner. Do you just want the cover? what will you do w/ it?

Only need the bumper cover (no beam). The one I have on my OBS now is literaly falling appart and the stock one has a large chunk missing. I figure if yours isn't too bad I might salvage it... It's only a beater now, but I'd like it to look at least half decent. And I already have the silver paint for the two tone as well.

I have the STi fog covers and they come on and off in about 5 minutes. I like em.

did you order those through the dealership? do you have the part #s handy?

I'm thinking about buying a set and having them painted at the same time as the bumper cover.

thanks,

The STi ones are already painted. If you are going to go ahead and have your bumper cover painted, just get the $29 ones from ebay. I hear they fit well and look just as good.

And you won't be a ricer like me :)
