Hahaha not this guy again. (which btw, i never made it in time to reply, but I find it funny how my time might be "short lived" due to me not disliking a decal another member has that says no fat chicks!
Every time I see you in a thread you're always a cranky ****.
Which makes me happy knowing at the other end of a computer screen is a 50 year old whos furious at what someone says on a car forum!

You may be helpful, but smile and have fun a little. Lifes to short to be serious all the time. Once said by a good friend of mine, "why so serious" .

I backed into a large dumpster at night and left a nice crease down the back of my bumper. Got if fixed looking better than new for 120... I think you could get it fixed for cheaper than a new OEM or aftermarket since they cost more than that and you would have to paint it.. Trust me I was in the same boat
and figured out it was much cheaper to fix the current bumper or find a used one in your area in the same color if you can. I looked all over and wasn't able to find a good deal. I would suggest getting an estimate so you know what price range it would be and then you can start to figure out the cheapest and best route for you.
GL!

FYI, if and when you dent the bumper like this here is an easy fix. Deflate a soccer ball and slip into the space between the bumper cover and bumper, you'll need to partially remove your rear fender liner to do this. Be sure to place the soccer ball so that you will have access to the air nozzle. From here simply re-inflate the soccer ball with an air compressor and it will cause the bumper to "pop" back into place. Depending on the extent of the dent you may need deflate/re-inflate the ball around different areas of the dent but eventually (5 minutes) it will pop out. There most likely will be some possible paint damage such as chipping or spider webbing that was caused by the initial dent but at least you won't have that ugly dent any longer. The paint on your bumper has a flex additive that allows the paint to deform and reform quite well without major chipping or flaking.
You can also apply heat with a hair-dryer to the affected area while using the soccer ball trick. It may add to the flexibility of the poly-urethane.

I have the same issue. During the winter me and a neighbor backed out the same time and I got a similar dent. I used a heat gun and flat bar from underneath. It looks alright but it was like -15 that day and the paint spidered really bad. The whole car needs a repaint though. The dealer I bought it from did a shitty respray and the clear's peeling at edges/corners.
