I have both sides available if you want to buy the passenger side. I was going to sell them as a pair on eBay, but I''ll sell you the one if you want. I took them off when I installed the OE body kit. They''re painted black and in perfect condition. Since the paint is still very good, you can usually get away with light sanding and painting over, so you don''t have to sand all the way to the plastic and go through priming, etc.

MSRP on that part is $280, you can have it for $120 + actual shipping. Let me know.

While at it, if anyone is interested in the other side, PM me.

I was skeptical when the body shop recommended by my jag dealer (they don''t do body work themselves) wanted to repair a torn plastic bumper when I got rear ended at a light. I thought.. "great, now i''m going to have to disclaim that the bumper was ''patched'' not simply replaced when i sell it down the road" but after I got it back, it was so well done, that I coud''nt even tell it was damaged in the first place. If you get a good shop, don''t let a little plastic repair deter you.

Now, as I type this, my car is at the dealer getting the wheel repaired.  Last weekend, I found the curb at the Rosa''s drive thru too good to resist, so I rubbed it affectionately with the left rear. (being sarastic, obv)  I''m just as ticked off at myself as you are, so you are not alone.  This is my second wheel to get repaired at $126 each incident. 

Get us some before and after pics when you can to see the finished product.

Your right. These are good guys at this body shop. They did the rear bumper on my pick a year ago (got rear-ended by a Mack truck, another long story) and the bumper is perfect. I have full faith that if he says he can repair it then he can repair it. He''s not one to go half-assed either. He''ll tell you when the cheap rout is wrong and why. In this case he says the cheap rout is no prob I beleive him. This is all provided that the tabs aren''t broken off, but I think they''re ok.
