The wife's 2014 Koup that we purchased al it's 3 years ago with a salvage/rebuilt title front bumper has never fit correctly (aftermarket of questionable quality). It's finally ripped the mounting tab on the passenger side loose and is coming apart. This is something I've been fighting since we got it.
id like to put an OE cover back on it. Anybody see these cars in the pick/pull apart? What should getting it sprayed cost? Thoughts? Car has 90k miles on it now (we've put on 60k) and it drives great but the cover coming apart makes it look terrible

Specifically you want to search for Bumper Assembly, front.
This then gets you the metal bumper support as well as the entire plastic bumper cover usually including the trim pieces attached to the bumper cover, like fog lights and grills. If you do not need the metal support then try to negotiate down the price.
In the grass, in this photo is a used Bumper Assembly, front that I bought via car-part. I got the part in the correct factory color so no need for paint. The part included the license plate bracket, the upper silver trim at the upper grill opening and the black trim at the lower grille opening
Its well worth the time and effort to search out matching paint.
I backed into my sis in law's honda accord awhile back and completely stoved in her drivers rear door, shattered glass and all (I was in a ford expedition). I was able to go on car-part and find a local junkyard that had the same color door in stock. Swapped inner door trim and handles and had it back together same day. Unless you look at stickers with VIN numbers, you would not know it ever happened. You cant tell any different in paint, especially after I waxed the car.
(no I didnt hide it from sis in law, between fixing it same day, washing/waxing the car, and replacing her car battery she felt more than whole)
Strange. On car-part there are 5 listings showing the same photo...
The asking price for Bumper Assembly ranges from $150 in Pittsburgh to $267 in Ft. Wright, KY. My guess is that these 5 JYs are all co-owned so all are showing it as "their" inventory and the price differences are due to shipping costs. Since Pittsburgh is cheapest, the part is probably actually in Pittsburgh.
Ft Wright. KY location, not far from Cincinnati Airport or about 2.5 hrs from your home.
You might talk to Pittsburgh directly. See if they would go just $100 w/o the metal support and then see what they would charge to ship the cover directly to your business address. That leaves $150 in shipping costs and it is still cheaper than having to drive to go get the part.

Foreign Auto Salvage is in my backyard and I am fairly certain that they *are* car-part.com. I've bought some stuff from them before but since they have the inventory for every other junkyard in the country if they don;t have it, they'll usually try to sell you a part that is in "a different warehouse" by which they mean they'll buy it from another junkyard and mark it up. That said, I am local to them, so if it really is the case that they've actually got it, I'm happy to help facilitate in any way.
I bought the trans for my 5 from that yard in Pittsburg, never forget that place.

I kinda want that whole car. I could use the headlights/fogs, upper core support, seat belt....or just put her door on it.
They'll be happy to sell you as much as you want, expect (ask for) a multi-part discount too. However, they likely won't sell you the whole car.
Expect you'll get the fogs included with the bumper assembly.
