Getting a New Front Bumper for a Sport
If you remember I was the one who ran into the fire hydrant and messed up my front bumper.
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/general-cobalt-68/crashed-my-sport-into-fire-hydrant-please-help-pics-124156/
After touching it up it ended up looking not so bad and I was living with the damage. Well, not anymore.
While driving home from school a bus stopped and the one car slammed its brakes and then the Denali in front of me slammed on its brakes also and then so did I. Well the guy in front of me just missed the guy in front of him and I was less fortunate. I ran into his trailer and hitch and have a dent in my front bumper. I'll upload pics in about ten minutes.
So enough is enough and I am going to string for a new bumper and I have a couple of questions for you guys.
1. Where should I get a bumper for my Sport? Should I order one online or is their anyway I can get a bumper locally? I believe this is the model #12336074...
Here's one from ebay unpainted... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...mZ290230419833
Also, is this site any good? http://www.iautobodyparts.com/front_...y/cobalt.html/ And I assume the 05-07 front bumpers will fit on my sport correct?
2. What prices am I looking at?
3. I assume I will also have to get it painted and heard on the radio that Aamco is having a sale to paint bumpers for like $130, is that a good idea? Or is it better to try to get the bumper already painted.
4. Is it possible to uninstall and install the bumper on my own? How hard would it be if so?
Thank you guys very much and sorry if I asked any noob questions BTW

Sport bumpers are popular with LS/LT guys. You'll probably have trouble picking one up used... best to get a new one and have it painted if the old one can't be repaired.

BUMP! Still looking if anyone has one or knows where to get one at a reasonable price!
thanks
Went onto rockauto and when I clicked on the bumper they said it was $70. However, I do not think that is right lol
