In a nutshell, you are going to have to visit a body shop to see if they can pull that dent out of the bumper. After they do that, they are going to have to repaint the bumper.

I agree with Prinz.

You could try pulling it out and painting it yourself, but IMO would be hard to get that to look good.

Yeah body shops want like 140+ bucks for that. I'm thinking a hammer, touch up paint, and some langka.

Just try to find a used rear bumper in the same color for your car. Search the junk yards, I bet you could find one for $150.

How about some glasses?? hehe okay sorry about that. At least it's in the less noticable lower portion. You took off paint so that's going to make it harder to match. But I blieve you can get 95% of that dent out by taking the bumber off or reaching from under and popping it out. Maybe have a paint friend redo just the lower portion under the trim line. Good luck

I've seen that done but you have to heat it maybe and still it won't look perfect but it'll look better than that anyway
