eieio,
I have not checked with a body shop but I'm assuming most will only want to replace the bumper cover. However the bumper is not perfect in the first place since it's been cut to allow for my brush guard and winch plate up front. I'm really just trying to stop the spread of the tear without costing an arm and a leg.
