Backed up in to a Pole......

The day before Easter I backed up in to a dame pole. Do I need to replace the hole back bumper, or is there a way that I could get it fixed with out replacing it?

DAMN that looks BAD dont know if they would be able to pop it out, but even if they did they would have to repaint the whole area.

good luck man and i feel ur pain. in my first car i backed up dead on into a utility pole and my trunk wouldnt close anymore.

i'm just wondering about how repair shops deal with the scratches on the METAL part of the car (not the bumper)

i have this one long 'rub' around the wheel well area. are these fairly easy for the shops to fix?

I just have a problem in understanding how paintshops can perfectly match and blend in the repair with the surrounding paint.

im just hoping it can be done

My friend, on the first day that he had his Dakota, he backed into a pole. He was sooo ****ed. Although, it wasn't as bad as urs since he has a metal bumper.
