Just got into an accident...
Well this is my first accident...I got cut off by a POS ford focuz and he couldn't make it so he slams his brakes I hit mine and I clip his back bumper doing about 20 mph ... my right side bumper lense is crack and the bumper has a cut in it.. bad thing is I took off his back bumper lol.. dude maxima's are tanks.
Question do you think a body shop could just fix that cut in the bumper or would I have to replace the bumper??..

If the bumper has more damage (IE dents) than just a scratch you should replace it. You will still have to paint the bumper if you replace it so you can still paint your whole car. If insurace is paying for it you might as well have the body shop fix it, your rates will go up both ways.
Good Luck,
