knowing that this is plastic...

i bought my z used and when waxing the car found a small dent in the rear bumper. is this repairable by any means other than getting a whole new bumper or getting the thing filled and repainted?

any suggestions on what i should do considering my small budget?

 

try paintless dent repair. Not sure how well it works on plastic pumper?

 

PDR ddoes not work on the bumpers. I had the same problem and had to replace the entire bumper($400).

 

I actually called a few places and most of them wouldn't work on the rear bumper for 2 reasons : Because its plastic and Because its almost impossible to get their tool anywhere near the dent I had. But, I called one guy and he agreed to try his best. What he did was pop the rear light closest to the dent and maneuvered his tool (a long metal rod) to the dent. He then heated up the area around the dent to get the plastic to flex and pushed out the dent. It didnt' completely remove the dent but made it pretty much un-noticeable. On a positive note, most dent repair people wont take any payment if they are unsuccesful in removing the dent completely. So all in all, I got the dent pretty much removed for nothing. (but i did tip him 40 bucks for the effort)

 

thanks guys, i think i might just live with it until i save enough money for a kit bumper...
