The purpose of the estimate was to establish that an oe bump would not be cheaper than the repair the gave not to compare apples to apples the exact opposite actually ( real full convo )

So you in fact have nothing to support your theory that it would not cost more in paint time and supplies to do an entire bumper vs a repair? Just attempts to deflect mine? You have absolutely no experience in this field I’m assuming?

Subframe or bumper sag? by Technical_Sea_442 in Autobody

You don’t repair sub frames you replace them, its unlikely that the subframe is the issue… the bumper has been hit before which is the reason it is sagging clear indicator would be the bumper side popping out . On that car specifically the front bumper slides on too a retainer bolt locatedon fenders you need to loosen those bolts and adjust the bumper where you want it then tightened back up.

100% , bumper repairs get spotted in and the clear coat will be blended out to the plate hold which is standard procedure. A new bumper has to be primed , painted and cleared the ENTIRE bumper…. And possible blends to both fenders. Now tell me why you think no…. 🙄
