*Sigh* Huge dent in Rear Bumper Cover from backing into a short pole. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

500$ deductible + raised insurance aren't very interesting

I'm guessing I need a new bumper unless someone knows a miracle body shop in Montreal.

PICS!@!

Sorry for your loss. It appears it's going to be new rear bumper cover time...

That stinks.......

That sucks man :(. Depending on how much it costs to get repaired you might be better off buying the bumper cover yourself and putting it on. Shoot Dave Hiller @ Newman Chevrolet an email and he'll give you a price for a rear bumper.

I'll be getting a quote from the dealer and one from a local body shop. Some people think that the bumper cover can be saved with some heat work.

If it requires a new bumper cover I'll definitely look into ordering one and having it painted since I can see the dealer charging over 1000$ to get a new bumper cover.

Any input/experience from anyone on dent removal on a bumper cover?

Yeah. I don't think Billy Mayes is gonna help fix that one. :(
