Bumper Material

Can anybody tell me what the rear bumper on my 04 amt coupe is made of? The reason I ask is I was parked at a local post office and was hit by a soccer Mom driving a Honda Odyssey creating a dent below my rear light the size of a softball.

While waiting on her insurance company, I applied heat and placed a deflated soccer ball behind the dent and attached a pump. Well the dent popped right out. Pretty cool. The paint has held as well. Some type of plastic?

Sounds like he already got one of her soccer *****

OP...nice save on your bumper. Cool idea...props! And with insurance $$ coming too. Sounds like you got a win-win deal.
