Oh yea? It did? Well grab yourself a fresh box of Kleenex for what I'm about to post below.

Feast you eyes on my beast after I hit the mother of all raccoon's back in March of this year.....

Ouch.... and yes, you may cry at these images as well  :cry1:

bpd... yea I saw these and others in a post from a while back.  And yes they made me ill, especially for a ride stroked like yours.  BUT.... I found the raccoon  you never saw... the one really responsible.  I spoke with him and it was the result of a domestic problem.

The part alone (from Ford) was a couple of hundred. I can look up my receipt & refer you to the same Dealership perhaps, but you may end up with a high shipping cost because of it's sheer size/shape/dimensions.

Yeah im just hoping its under a 1000 when all said and done. Im sure i can order it from within canada and get it done at a good ford dealer.

Best of luck getting it done.  We'll be waiting to see the finished product.

yeah im just amazed how cheap this might end up being. but i should probably get a new absorber thing aswell. the led poped out of the grey fog light assembly i think it might just go back in. im gonna look for that bumper tutorial

Seems like a good price.  The paint code will get you to the start and may look fine.  My concern would be an actual match...

Suppliers change and with them slight color changes occur.   You've also go a 2010 and may have enough subtle change from sun, etc. to make it a little different color than it was originally.  My body/paint guy actually uses equipment to match the paint color of the car, tinting factory paint as necessary.... and even at that he has repainted a body kit for one of my trucks fully (on his own without me ever seeing the first job) because he still didn't think it matched.

You might try it... could always go for a change if it doesn't match when you install.  Depends on how good the deal is and whether you can get the bumper cheaper unpainted and have the paint done locally at a similar price.

Just the opinion of an appearance freak...

I was gonna say - he backed into you, why is HIS insurance/wallet not footing the bill?

Yea, what's up with you paying for the damage?  Friendship does have it's limits... and that's where responsibility should kick in! ...along with his insurance that should fix it like it never happened at no cost to you!
