Mine was about 1300 when I had it replaced about a year and a half ago. That did not include the removable crossbar. This was a new authentic mercedes cover. Paint match was excellent.

I went to the dealer for the price of the actual bumper and it was $1100...but are you saying that you paid an additional $1300 for the paint and installation or the entire deal (bumper, paint, and install)?

I was out the door for $1300. The bodyshop doesn't pay the same price for the cover that you or I would.
My invoice showed the body shop cost. Just to make sure they weren't gouging me on the price of parts, I called a dealer to verify the price to me and was told something around $1100.

Out Of Control!
Are you looking for a new stock bumper or aftermarket(lorinser, brabus etc..)? If aftermarket get the Lorinser DTM kit. Should look very nice.
