Bumper got dented...
Someone clipped me a while back, thank god none of the quarter panel got messed up, it's only the bumper...
I'm planning on selling this car within a month or so, do you think it would look some what decent if I just take off the bumper and try to hammer it back out? Don't really wanna drop $200 for a new bumper..
Thoughts..
Thanks

That bumper is going to take more than $200 off the resale value of your car. No way a hammer on plastic is going to come out looking close to okay. It will just end up looking worse.

Less than $100.

you can take a heater, warm it up niecely and bend it out from the inside out. also, put the styrofoam piece back in there, seems like you're missing it and therefore got that damaged that way.
replacing the cover would be better though, you can leave it black since your car is dark.
