how much u think that might cost??

[transmaro93]

depends... if that is a newer crv which it looks like... that corner peice is seperate from the rest of the bumper.... hard to tell from the pic... may need a bracket in there... tail light may be crack... and if that black on the bumper is scuffed it will need to be replaced because its textured... so with the bottom piece the corner (+paint)... maybe a bracket or two... plus labor probably looking at $500-$600 using all oem parts... if that peice isnt cracked and the bottom peice isnt broken it will be much cheaper... tail lights are probably a couple hundred a peice for that... they are big lights... and add if the 1/4 is damaged...hope this helps... without seeing it in person it is hard to tell
