fix @#$% bumper

so i was installing my night rider bar using the diy found here. Spent 1.5 hrs taping and covering any sensitive areas that might get bumped by the dremel. What a waste of time that was. got the holes cut, removed all the crap i put on only to see a huge chunk missing from the top of the mail slot and scratches all over the damn place.:mad0260 : I am sooooo pissed... guess its a good excuse to get the T2 bumper..... anyway... anyone know how to fix this so that it doesnt look like shit?

I edited the picture to highlight the scarring a little better. Sorry its so crappy. Only have a camera phone. The g/f is a photographer and she has the camera at school with her. Anyway, if you need a better image take a dremel and gouge the top left corner of your mailslot.

Need the mail slot for light bar.

Is there a plastic putty or something I can get to cover the gouge til I can get a new bumper? Just checked pricing on T2... not ready to spend 1k for 1 item just yet.

The big cut on the left is the hole for the light... fits and looks great with the bar in... still needs cleaned up though

hahaha I said I only had my camera phone, cmon guys haha

anyway, the cut is 1/2" by 1/4" on the upper left corner of the mail slot. The part that would be very bumpable while cutting two holes inside the slot for the light to slide through.

His booboo is in the same spot only mine looks to be wider, deeper, and whiter... if it was just a little ding like that I could put a couple layers of paint and some clear coat and it should look the same, but this baby is deeeep.
