Unhappy The Assault on My Synergy :(

One day this past week was a dark day in Camaro history, for on that day, THIS HAPPENED! Any Ideas on how to reverse this evil or would it be best to let a professional take a look at it?

eh its not so bad - rear bumper makes it a bit odd though.

Wait about 3 years and take it to a proffessional to have ALL of the scratches, dings and gouges made all better. Thats my plan - living in chicago and my car being a daily driver - the winters are brutal on a car. So I plan on every three years or so to make her right again.

Yea, Im not sure if someone did it on purpose, if so the back bumper does seem odd lol, That doesn't sound like a bad Idea, I just thought with it being so small it may be best to "nip it in the bud" you know?

It seems to be, It doesn't seem to go all the way through though, definitely through the paint I only had my phone on me for pics you I couldn't flash it straight on. hope that helps!

I have something similar on my front bumper, the fascia.

::lurks in thread to see if anyone has quick fixes::

It's not a chip, it's a peel. The paint is just there, just pushed aside, so I dunno how to deal with it.

Sorry, I was jealous... I would've done more damage, but all I had on me at the time was a very tiny knife

J/K - depends on how bad it bothers you. Like the others have said, sometime in the future you may have other things you want addressed, and if you can live with one itty bitty gouge in the bumper for now it'd save you tons of $ down the road versus multiple body shop trips.
