    Hi everyone.

    I managed to back into a fence yesterday and hurt my baby. What is the best way to fix this problem? ( see picture ) What do you guys think the cost will be? Thank god its "just" the rear bumper. The chassis is untouched.

    Mine got scratched up and I had mine repainted.
    If you remove it yourself I would say $1K.
    There are instructions how to do it with pictures. Pay attention to the spacers (take pictures and tape them onto the bolts)
    Good luck

    Pretty straight forward fiberglass work. Any competent shop can do it or you can do it yourself and then have it sprayed. Not a big deal.

    I'd say under $1k. Should be a really easy fill and sand then paint.

    Yikes! Sorry to hear that. Main reason why my first mod on my 360 & F430 were backup cameras.

    As others have mentioned I would say $1,200 repair.

    I would try to find a clean used one and just have it painted first. Unless you have a really good fiberglass guy. Depends on how picky you are about your car. In the end if the body guy doesn't do a perfect job you will notice it every time you look at it. I know I would.

    I had someone hit my 360 while parked (of course they didn’t leave a note). They cracked my front bumper. I looked up a body shop who had 600 five star reviews on Yelp and had some experience on high end cars. They removed the bumper, removed the clear bra, repaired the bumper and repainted the bumper and reinstalled. I paid out of pocket for the repair. It was $1200 and I was extremely impressed and satisfied with the result. See the attached before and after photos. To the OP, at least you can take heart that you did the damage. I had to pay for some careless idiot who took off after hitting my car.

    Luckily the damage is only on the bumper. Nothing on the exhaust or the surrounding panels which is great news. Any competent body shop can fix this perfectly. I suggest you take them the car and have them do the whole job. This way if there are any issues they cannot point to something you did as a cause. As others have noted it is not a terribly expensive job. Because the bumper is fiberglass I would have no hesitations in having it repaired and would not look for a used bumper. With the correct people it will be impossible to ever tell the car has been repaired. Good luck.

    What cam did you get. I got a wireless one off amazon but it’s only one camera. Would love to add another in the front.

    The OEM Ferrari infotainment system (or Clarion version) has a very neat backup camera option.

    That’s what I have. It works well. I put the camera on the trans bracket looking out through the diffuser.
