Any ideas on how i can make this look better?

Bottom right of my bumper there are 2 chips. Didn't know how i got them. Is there anyway I can fix that, make it look better or something because its bothering me. Getting a new bumper is not an option. Lol

well that plastic piece is part of the whole bumper. I had this same situation with my last bumper (I now have a new one thanks to a 2x4 falling off a truck). I just snapped it off all around. Mine was hanging down more than yours though. You might be able to get a piece of plastic to glue in behind and just use touch up paint to blend it in. It's supposed to be black anyways, why is it silver?

easiest way is to cut off that piece, it actually looks decent when it's cut off.

IMO THe OP should have gone aftermarket on the bumper. Actually my bumper is also silver on the lower lip part cause the paint shop painted it all the same. I wish it was black because after a year of scrapping on stuff it looks kinda crappy where as if it was unpainted black, it wouldn't really look any different.

this was one of the reason I left my sills black. If anything damages them I can just repaint it black and its not obvious at all LOL

Just pull it off

Maybe you would be into the Stillen lip, IMO its hideous but some people like it, your choice. Maybe cut out the lines on the vents of the bumper (Similar to 05/06 bumper), fill in the holes on thi lip and get a black emblemless grille to help clean up the look. I feel like there's too much going on with the front end of the car with all those horizontal lines. Anyways, heres a pic of the lip and you will see what I'm talking about.
