While bumpers once were nothing more than rigid metal bars, today they're more complex. The bumper structure typically features a reinforcement bar with a protective plastic covering over it. The bar is typically constructed of aluminum, steel, plastic, or a fiberglass composite, and the cover is commonly built of polycarbonate or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

When Do I Need to Replace My Bumper?

Your bumpers are going to suffer their fair share of damage, especially if you tend to take your Jeep SUV or RAM pickup truck off-road for adventure. Scratches, dings, and scrapes aren't a problem unless you decide they are. If your bumper is in danger of detaching, though, you need to act fast. Not only is that an unsafe driving condition, but it may also be illegal in your state.

How Much Do Bumpers Cost?

A new bumper can cost between $100 and $2,000. While that seems like quite the non-specific range, multiple factors play into your final cost. Installation runs between $200 and $600, depending on where you live in the USA and the amount of competition your mechanic faces.

The greater variable comes with the part itself, though. A basic bumper for an older Scion xA compact car is going to be significantly less expensive than one for a new or Volkswagen Tiguan SUV. That's because the bumper for the SUV have advanced safety features incorporated, which increases both the price -- and the expertise needed.
