So when I bought my GS-T the only issue with the car is the front bumper wasn't in amazing shape. It's finally started to fall apart and I began to look for a new one and realized I don't have any clue what to do. I have no experience with swapping out body parts with the exception of changing lights and removing my front bumper.
When I look for a new front bumper what should I look for and expect? Should I get an OEM one or go for aftermarket? I was on carid and a few other sites looking at their bumpers. They ranged from $80-$250. If I'm looking at aftermarket bumpers what would you recommend, where should I order from? After I order it I assume they don't come painted and I was wondering how much it costs to get it properly painted, I don't want a cheap job that will start flaking. Should I get my local JDM shop to put on an aftermarket bumper or is it a simple diy?
Any and all information is seriously appreciated as I have no experience in buying body parts and need all the help I can get. I searched around on the forum but couldn't find the answers to all my questions, if there is a thread feel free to link me.
Thanks in advance.
