So my 2007 Ranger got into an unfortunate incident with a concrete post in a parking garage a few months ago. I finally have he time to go fix it/get it fixed. The driver’s side fender has a huge dent and set of scratches in it. It’s already an aftermarket fender so I just want to take it to a body shop and have it replaced and painted with another aftermarket one. Not too expensive for me. There’s also a little piece of molding missing on the cab (I heard someone here call it “roof ditch molding”?) that is a cheap part that I’m gonna get replaced. What I’m wondering about is the bumper. I managed to hook the end on the post and try to rip it off in this ill-fated maneuver. Some body shop tried to quote me over $1000 to get it fixed. What I’m wondering is how difficult it is to replace on my own? I’m not sure of the extent of the damage. There may be a bracket or something that’s all messed up. The bumper itself may be fine. The valance looks fine to me. I wouldn’t even need to paint the bumper to match the truck because it’s under this big hunk of plastic. Even if it came as bare metal, I could slap some Rustoleum on it and bingo! Is there really a need for me to have it done at a body shop? Thanks!
