hit light post (pics)

i actually don't like to think of it as hitting the light post rather bumping into it. i was helping some drivers in distress and while i was backing up i "bumped" into a light post. anyone have any ideas on how to fix this damage? it isn't too bad. only a tear in the bumper and the brake light got pushed back.



and..

Well you either broke the tail light or bent the melal under it. I am guessing you bent the metal so...pull the taillight out and get a cheap dent puller and pull it out(you want see it so a novice could do it) I would get new styrofoam under the bumper and buy a 3m bumper repair kit from a good auto store if you think you can do the repair yourself...if not get a whole new bumper cover. chances are you didnt bend the bumper itself(whats under the foam and bumper cover) but you will be able to tell once you get the cover off.

to get the cover off you need to reach down into your quarter panels and undo the screws on either side. then in the middle you have to remove the plastic piece and the felt covering on the inside and there are some nuts that need to be taken out there...be careful because you might miss a couple because they have wire holders on them. then take the screws off of the bottom and it should slide off.

Good luck.
