    i just backed out of a spot in a shopping center and scraped the side of the bumper against a concrete curb. pretty bad damage to the paint/plastic.

    for arguments sake, whats a bumper cover go for?

    i'll give a call over to the dealer.. the front bumper is the damaged part, and that site doesn't have 2012 prius.. the fog light area is different enough..

    Yeah, that's why I went with the 2011 rear bumper since it was the same and didn't know which one you were talking about. Hope it isn't that much and you can fix it up reasonably.
