Crashed in the rain : /

Hey everyone, yesterday it was pouring, I was headed south on 99 getting off on the kammerer rd. Outta nowhere hit a puddle spun, try and corrected but kept slidding to a 180, went onto the huge median backwards and just slid on that for a while. I was devastated. Pulled over to check out the damage, stock 06 rims are scratched pretty bad, no bends tho. Front bumper had popped out, pushed that back into the clips. Im very surprise at how lucky I got. The only part really messed up is the bottom of the bumper is cracked pretty bad. I just got the car as well :/ Glad to be safe and glad my lil brother is safe as well.

Anyways, my point for this thread bein I need a new front bumper, WRB for a 06 -07 wrx. Any help in pointing me in the right direction will be very appreciated!
Thanks guys.

For sure. It comes unprepped and unpainted. I'll let you know when it shows up.

Glad you didn't get hurt.

You can also order a new bumper from 1stsubaruparts.com for 180 + shipping, I checked. And its OEM FHI parts.

Highly doubt you'll be able to find a place that does that. Just get some quotes around locally. I'm sure you can find someone who can do the job nicely. There is a place called Oakland Auto Body near Oakland Chinatown. They blend the color in very well.

Go to Maaco if you are trying to save a buck. The one in Fremont does good work.
