So, I lightly bumped my right front bumper on some snow in a parking lot tonight. Turns out that said "snow" is actually "concrete" after that thaw/freeze cycle, and cracked the livin piss out of my bumper. It's not repairable, and it really pisses me off. I'm not sure whether the fog light / tow hook cover inserts will stay in there, so I'm thinking I'd like to replace the bumper. Anybody know how much a good used or new third gen legacy bumper costs? I'm trying so desperately to think of this as "well now I can add those foglights I wanted" but I'm so disappointed I could just puke...
You probably just need a bumper cover. Probably about $200-300 unpainted. Aside from getting one from Subaru (don;t forget if you join MNSubaru you get a 20% discount), there might be an aftermarket cover available for under $200.
Welcome to the broken-ass bumper club! Sounds like the exact same situation with mine. I got lucky and found someone else with the same year bumper that I have. Just need to get it repainted. Ask the Morrie's guys in the vendor thread how much a new one runs for.
