Default New Rear Bumper

Hello Everyone. My Dad picked up a 2014 Z51 earlier this year, and he got in an accident a couple months later. He backed into a pole and damaged the rear bumper, it is not bad, but it does require a new rear bumper. He filled an insurance claim and the repair shop said there are no bumpers to replace it with. Are these bumpers that hard to find?. My dad did mention there was a way to get a replacement, but he sadly passed away right after unexpectedly. Just trying to figure out how to get the car fixed.



Pic of the car, no damage, this was before the accident.

Try posting a thread in the C7 Parts for Sale/Wanted section - perhaps someone has one they are looking to sell.

I got picks of the damage. Looks like it needs parts

Rear Upper Bumper Cover - 84411653
Fascia - 84139443
Turn Signal Light cover - 23406885
Fascia Center Grill - 22799216

Damage isn't bad, but the car might be coming back with me to Germany and the autobahn might cause more damage.

A few years ago, I had an incident that ruined the left front carbon fiber fender on my C6Z and ran into the same problem you are having. I started doing Google searches and finally stumbled upon a shop in Columbus, OH, that had several NOS fenders at an excellent price. It took me several days to word the search properly to have the part show up in my search. If you choose to look for a new rear fascia it may take you a while to structure the search parameters so you can filter out all of the crap you don't want, but you may get lucky.

A good body shop can likely fix the bumper cover (upper and lower). Decent shops can really work some magic these days.

The "turn signal light cover" is not OEM. If you buy an OEM part you'll need to modify it or go back to factory tail lights. OEM has vent screen where yours has lights on the side.

The grill should be readily available.

If you still need the bumper cover, plenty of them on eBay and Facebook Marketplace. Just perform your due diligence when buying from someone.

This is the backside of mine and while it's a widebody car, the Stingray will be similar. There's just not much to them which is why I think it can be repaired on your car.

....and the OEM light time (aka turn signal cover). I don't have a great pic handy, but this should be enough for you to recognize the difference. Track day car, excuse the number
