help, bent bumper.
I was in Stony brook the opther day, and it was too dark and its really hard to see with me limo tints. As i was backing up i hit a tree bark or something, and it put a dent in my bumnper on the right side. I dont have a kit installed. The dent is actually not in the bumber, but right under that line in the back. is there anyway i can bend it back or osmething ? Thanks for ur help

Well get behind it and try, if that still dont work, you might have to get it heated up. But be very careful on that, cause too much heat can mess up the paint.

Re: help, bent bumper.
This has happened before... hasn't it??? you know, the tint, and people backing into random stuff.
Complete pandemonium!

PS. i dunno about just heating it up and bending it back... anyone know what kind of material the dented stuff is made of?? cuz if I recall correctly, it feels a lot like some kind of plastic. (in which case, heating it might not be in your best interests)

Dunno about the plastic part.. but I paid $300 for minor body work which included a de-dinging and repainting the entire right rear section (from the back passenger door to the bumper)...
Just take your car down to a local, reputable body shop and get a quote.
