    I'd like to know this answer as well.

    I would not leave them bent for storage.

    Mine are stacked inline on the floor upside down and supports on the ends to keep the floppyness to a minimum

    On a scale of 1 to 10, that's a 2 to fix.

    Flex agent reduces over time, when repairing a bumper, filler, primer, and clear should be kept to a minimum as to avoid excessive mill thickness. If flex agent is used, it mostly needs to be in the primer, most clears are already flexible from the the manufacturer.

    Good to hear the comments. I already got an appointment in the am at a body shop set up by USAA. Since it's not my fault I should be leaving this with a nice looking bumper again. I may see if they can paint a fender while I'm there too. My driver's side is rusting and I have a lead on a decent one from a junkyard 2007 crown Vic. Will keep you posted.

    Thats an easy fix. But, if you want one I have 3-4 good ones for various prices based on quality that I can deliver to carlisle in June.

    Thank you guys so much for the offers. We have a good community here. Body shop says it's easily fixed. I didn't notice my spoiler is a little jacked up too. Anyway, $1100 damages. I'm not paying it, but I'm glad it's getting fixed. While it's there I'm going to have them paint a replacement fender because mine is rusted. I'm trying to source one that is in good shape. Junkyards are sketchy. Anyone have a lead on a driver's fender in the NJ/PA area?

    Non-issue for any body shop that knows what they're doing. Urethane bumpers can even be welded/patched to as good as new. The only kind of repairs that are a mess are those that are missing large chunks or have a lot of stretch and distortion to the base material over a large area. Yours looks as good as they come out of the box when replacing them...it just needs to be stripped and refinished.
