I just replaced my stock Intake with a JLT.
Any one wanna trade for a rear bumper plastic surround?

Sonuds like you should just have a reputable collision shop respray yours. As long as the cover is not cut it will be a piece of cake to fix. A new or used cover may not fit your car as well as the OE cover, and it will surely cost a lot more than getting yours refinished.

Good point......$300 and fixed at local body shop.
Sprayed coat of clear over SS inserts.

I wouldn't clear over the SS -- the plastic and metal will expand at different rates in the sun and may make a mess. Also if someone ever wants to remove the SS (I would) it will be a nightmare.

Agreed.

I just had my front bumper cover repaired. Around $400 to sand and re-paint, a new OEM cover is going to cost you at least $500 before paint and install.
