2nd gen rear bumper replacement
Hi all,
So I got hit from behind by a jeep today. I was making a left turn and then had to stop because a pedestrian entered the crosswalk. The result is that my rear bumper will need to be replaced. An initial inspection by me has me thinking it is pretty much a remove and replace situation.
Before I dig into it, are there any things I should be aware of regarding taking it off and putting one back on? With being hit, should I just let a shop do it? (It was the other person's fault.) Are there any rear bumper upgrades I might consider given this opportunity to replace the bumper?

I'd definitely do it myself but I'm not having much free time this semester (I'm a professor). But I know I'll at least have to have it painted which I cannot do very well.

I get the no time. It would be a good practice tho. It doesnt take much time to do the swap either if you got time on a saturday morning. I wonder what a shop would charge for a prep and paint. Were you able to find much on the aftermarket bumpers?

The truck is drivable so perhaps i could have the replacement prepped and painted for me and I could install it later. I have no idea how much I might save though as the adfitionsl labor in the shop would be the easy unbolt, bolt-on part.
Car-ID had several replacement bumpers.
