I am trying to get an estimate on the cost of replacing a whole rear bumper. What is the typical price range for a new rear bumper, including both parts and labor? Are there any additional costs or factors I should be aware of when getting a replacement?

It’s hard to give an exact price without more details about your vehicle and the damage, but generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars to replace a rear bumper.

The cost of a whole rear bumper varies depending on the vehicle make, model, and material. Generally, it ranges from $200 to $700 for parts alone. Installation and painting can add $300 to $500, depending on the service provider.

I have a 2006 IS350 I just recently replaced my rear bumper cover on - I bought this rear bumper cover pre-painted. I got it on sale for $250 but it looks to be $274 at the time of my comment.
This shop sells a more expensive option of this same bumper for around $450 - the difference being that the cheaper version (the one I bought) is folded to decrease shipping volume to save on shipping costs. Fwiw I didn’t notice any defects due to the folding, I just had to prop the bumper up with some objects for a day or two before installation because it kept wanting to return to its folded state. Once I got it installed there were no issues.
I’ve had it on for around 3 months now and I haven’t noticed anything off about it. Probably not long enough to tell if the quality of paint will really hold up in the long term but I’m more than happy so far with what I paid for it.

Ah, the rear bumper—always the first to take one for the team! Replacing it can be like buying an unexpected round of drinks for everyone at the bar: it’s gonna cost you. Typically, you’re looking at anywhere from $300 to $700 for the parts, and labor can add another $200 to $600 depending on your ride and where you go. So, in total, it could be anywhere from $500 to $1,300.
And don’t forget about those potential extra costs, like paint matching, which can sneak in another $100 or so. If your sensors or cameras are attached, that could add even more. It might be worth getting a few estimates before committing—after all, no one likes surprise charges when the bill comes!
