03 Rear bumper, fix or buy used?

Ok. I just backed my 03 Cummins into a pole and put a nice crease in the rear bumper. I'm just curious if it pays to try and fix it or just buy a new one. I'm afraid to even look at the price at the dealer

thanks

I have my rear bumper that I took off my 2003 silver 3500 truck I could sell. I have the Sport model so it's painted silver though. I don't think there is any major scratches on it. Let me know if your interested and I can email you some pics. It doesn't have the license plate lights as I put those on my Buckstop that I replaced it with.

Also, As chance would have it I'm located in PA but I will be going through NC on my way to the outer banks on May 6th for vacation so I could meet you somewhere for delivery.

Thanks for the reply on that bumper....I don't remember what that the silver painted version looked like, if you can, I would appreciate a picture.

I live on Oak Island just south of Wilmington, what route would you be taking on your trip south?

Thanks again,

Ron

Did the same thing! Got one on ebay. It's absolutely indistinguishable from stock!! $250 + shipping. Had the bumper pads and reverse lites on it, and the mounting brackets. Just reuse the old bolts, and TADA!!!
Cheers
Mike

My grandpa has the stock chrome bumper off of his 06. It has a small scratch on the passenger side. He took it off and got a replacement bumper put on. He needs to get rid of it.
