    Do they sell colored replacement plastic bumpers? or do you have to get them painted.

    The Prius bumpers are painted. The color is not impregnated in the plastic.

    from my experience with other toyota cars, the bumper cover comes unpainted and has to be color matched and painted by the body shop.

    btw, do you know what's the name of the black plastic thing under the prius bumper and how much do they cost. i'm particularly interested in the piece under the rear bumper, in the middle.
