Damn dave, you've been having all kinds of problems with your front (first the veilside now this).

Maybe its time for a full replacement kit

Good luck

I'm not saying you won't need to get that fixed, but you should be able to pop that big indent right out... have you tried yet? Just push from the back of the bumper cover..

should make it less noticable for now, the material should pop back into its original shape.

You can probably sand it down, repair, and re-paint it pretty cheap. I got a $250 quote a while back, but didn't go through. I just have one big scratch but lots of dimples from rocks and other debris.

That should buff right out.




Ok, just kidding. Sorry to hear that man. But if its enough for insurance to cover, have them cut you a check and get an aftermarket front bumper painted and installed for the cost of the OEM bumper!
