I found this today. Looks like someone hit me in the parking lot. I wanted to know if this can be fixed by heating up the bumper, correcting the shape, repainting it and calling it a day. Or do I need to replace the whole thing? It looks like it can be saved, but I wanna be sure from you guys first. I know the bodyshop will probably wanna sell me another bumper so I need to be sure.

Also I was thinking of having the lettering painted a different color, but I fear it will exceed the price of inserts since I will have to buy a different color of paint and then comes the labor.

I need your thoughts on both.

Thanks!

most definitely. very easy fix, and much cheaper then getting a new bumper. a good price for the repair and repaint should be around 300-400$. Price of getting bumper replaced instead of repaired would be around $1800+

Believe it or not this car should be renamed Christine.

The dent popped back out completely. The car fixed itself. Unbelievable!

Thanks for the reply though.

paint alone is going to run you 300-400. almost any shop would replace it because the cost to repair is rediculous. it takes HOURS of work to fix cracks/tears.

glad to see it popped itself out. I would have used a heat gun to get it warm and just pushed it out.

Cool, me and phrogness had talked about meeting up but it didn't pan out on my end, i have not had time to fart lately without it interfering with something else in my life. Today will be no exception once I leave work. My grass is so high I am going to buy a riding lawn mower today just to deal with it, it is beyond push mower capability. Amy said it looks like we are white trash. I told her I had no problem with that. It didn't go over very well.

Today will be no exception once I leave work. I am going to buy a riding crop today just to deal with my fustrations, it is beyond Amy's capability. Amy said it looks like we are white trash, I told her I had no problem with self pleasure. It didn't go over very well. :bop:
