Bumper Cover

No matter how careful you are, your car or truck faces many threats on the open road. Your bumper is on the front lines keeping you safe from collisions, and the bumper cover, the part of the bumper you can see, is there to boost the level of protection your bumper can offer. Scrapes and dents are common in older bumper covers, so replacing your cover can be like giving your car a face-lift, without the hefty price tag.

At PartsGeek.com we offer a huge selection of bumper covers to fit your vehicle at several price points. Our 30-day return policy allows you to have confidence that you will get exactly what your car or truck needs.

What Is a Bumper Cover?

Although many people think of their cars’ bumpers as the parts that tap other cars while parallel parking, but actually the bumper cover is what takes the smudges and scratches from day-to-day use. This cover protects not only the bumper, but also the head or tail lights and grill. Normally made of fiberglass or plastic, a bumper cover should fit your car’s bumper like a glove so it can reinforce the bumper’s ability to take force from the impact of a car crash. Bumper covers can also offer some aesthetic variations for your vehicle, as they often come in different finishes and shades.

How Much Is a New Bumper Cover?

Replacing your bumper covers can range in price, depending upon a few factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, what brand you select and if you choose a standard or more custom finish. At PartsGeek.com we offer a wide selection of bumper covers, with many standard front bumpers in the $75 to $150 range and many rear bumpers running around $200 to $300. We offer top brands such as Action Crash, Smittybilt and Body Armor, providing you with top of the line bumper covers to fit your car or truck’s needs.

How Easy Is Replacing a Bumper Cover?

Replacing a bumper cover yourself is simple and will significantly save you money over having it put on at the shop. The majority of bumper covers will arrive pre-primed, and then you will need to paint the cover to match your car, being sure to use wet sandpaper to remove any bumps in the paint and allow it to dry. Next, loosen and remove the lug nuts, jack up the part of your car (either front or back) and remove the corresponding wheels. Then you’ll remove the bumper cover by taking off the wheel covers to unscrew the bolts that hold the bumper cover in place. There are small holes where plastic hooks on the cover attach to the bumper, you will unhook each one starting at one side of the car and moving to the other side. To put the new cover on, line up the hooks on the newly painted and dried cover with the holes in the bumper. Again, start at one side of the car, this time clicking the hooks into place in each hole. It may be helpful to have a friend hold the cover up while you snap the hooks onto the car. You’ll then replace the bolts in the wheel well, put the wheel covers and tires back onto the car. Remove the jack and you’re ready to show off your ride.
