My mom backed into my ST today! I was pissed but I couldn't be mad at her, just that it happened. Thankfully her rear bumper is not a couple inches higher or it would have damaged the body as well. I told her not to worry about it and I'll just get it fixed so her insurance doesn't go up. How much do you think it will cost to replace these peices?

I’m guessing you will be in it for approximately $450 if you are replacing it yourself. Tasca Ford had that lower bumper for $310.

I think it’ll be just an easy take off put on work you can do yourself. Probably could get the bumper and trim piece of eBay for not that much.

So far from what I have read, the whole bumper needs to come off. The bottom peice is held on by plastic rivets and it's near impossible to get them out with it on the vehicle. It can be done but it's just a lot harder. Unfortunately I no longer have a place or the ability to do this myself. Arthritis is a bitch when you get old! I'll be taking it in to a trusted body shop I've used for years. I'm guessing around $650-$750.

My guess is 1K at a shop. That's about what it ran to replace one on my Edge.

Got an estimate and it’s $1,059 to repair using OEM parts.
