Shit happens.....to the best of us! Don't be too hard on yourself, in a couple of months it will all just be bad learning experience and water under the bridge.

I will give it a shot. I was thinking the same thing right after I did it yesterday.

that also crossed my mind. Actually im now doodling with the idea of having an emblem made that fits the exact wedge area. *shrug* have it say something cool. I mean it is a dent, but its a perfect dent.

Check some local body shops... sometimes they will cut you a deal. My boss got a Lexus rear bumper cover and painted for $400 at a local guy.

Luis over here says he can do it for 300. SO eventually I will get it done. I'll have to suck it up.


Thanx for the sympathy and perspective guys. I was a total wreck yesterday. Time for me to get past it look to the future.

The bumper covers can be repaired at low cost. Check your local body shop. I have had repairs in the past to other cars I owned and they look like new again.

When you pop it out get a hair dryer to heat it up, it will help erase the creases, just don't go too long or it can melt it.

Just a flesh wound. Battling Decepticons is tough work and some times dents will happen. Is your car going to be in the new movie?

You can also try boiling water in an electric kettle and pour the boiling water over it to heat it up. It will take more than one kettle full but it does work. The ex dinged the plastic bumper on the front of her car and that is the way I fixed it.
