My 2015 Camaro LS Bumper is coming off

I accidently didn't see a park bumper in front of me as I drove to park my car. I usually reverse park, but I was in a rush. And unluckily, I didn't realized that my front bumper was pushing hard against a parking ground concrete bumper until I reversed. I heard a loud rubbing noise and realize that my front bumper is detaching.
Does a body job specialist solder tabs to reattach the front face bumper? I didn't know these Camaros come with a polyurathane plastic type face bumper!!EEEk I am so bummed out. Do I have to replace the whole face bumper now? or can they solder tabs to snap reattach the face?
Has anyone gone through this experience/ What are the cost in parts and labor? Can some one please help me with some relieving advice?

Seems to be common. I bolted mine on, with some nice stainless dome hex head
bolts.

I think those tabs are repairable. Plastic welding is a thing and some folks are very good at it. But I do notice a crack next to the light in your first picture.

The tab on the sides by the side marker broke off and that's why they stick out. I replaced my bumper cover a short while ago because it had the same issue. I don't know anything about plastic welding so I can't help you there.

Thanks for the info. I finally decided to just buy a new front bumper face at my local GM parts dealer and have it installed by an expert.
I heard of Curb Alert monitoring system that will be installed in my front bumper once I get my new bumper installed to prevent this accident. That is worth the investment!

Yeah, I have seen that system before. As long as it works as designed it can pay for itself in reduced damage. I have an Android head unit/stereo and I connected a front camera that's hidden in my grill, so when I park I just turn it on and can watch how close I am to hitting the splitter.

I just need to remember to turn it on lol.
