Leave the front in the sun to warm it up, and pop it out. It should mostly come out on it's own with time. Then take it to a body shop to have it massaged a little if needed.

It does look like you hit something low......I think another car would have hit higher up too.

Could be from a drop-down hitch. Why are people coming in here doubting the story? Does it matter what happened to it? Jeez...

I know its too late to help you now, but i would switch to state farm. If state farm doesn't pay out of their pocket more than $750, they don't count it as a claim. So if your deduct is $750, you could have a $1499 body shop bill and it doesn't count as a claim.

I have a 0 deduct so $750 is my limit from state farm.

looks like a new bumper cover is needed. you can pull out, not sure you'll like the end result. I would go to another club. Or stop going to club's in the Camaro.

Yea my first reaction was WTF!!, my second reaction was the same as alot of people here i guess, that the damage is to low to be from another car, so I came up with the same conclusion....it had to have come from the hitch on somebodies car....

But thanks everyone for the helpful information, I guess the true answer will come when I go to the body shop and find out there estimate....

I truly hope this is just a situation where it can just be heated up and pullled out, and maybe a little touch-up paint to smooth things over...

Recent college grad, so needless to say, money is still a huge issue....

those plastic panels are pretty good about popping back out if you do it right away --

heat lamp or hair dryer; get it warm it should soften up; then use a 2x4 or something to pop it out from the back . . . might be a little paint damage but hopefully not too bad . . . . or a body shop can do it, shouldn't cost much

Stop going to clubs in the Camaro, people drinking and acting crazy with their cars.

I would say someone kicked it. Looks like someone with boots sat down and stomped horizontally.
