that's easy to repair. I wouldn't buy a whole new bumper just because of that.

+1 Repairable. I literally destroyed my vertex bumper and the body shop was able to bring it back to life.

Just looking at the first pic, yes it can be fixed. It will be cheaper to fix it than to replace it and paint the new one.

Thanks for the intelligent response!
Ok, I'll drop by a shop or 3 and get some estimates. Maybe I'll do an after shot if I do get it fixed.

The car is always a priority right?
Hell ya! But I did take these with a D40 just did it quick without a tripod, I was just trying to get the pics out to get some advice of some sort, I am hating fiberglass right now... missing the oem plastic.
