Removed my front license plate holder and found...

THIS!!

It looks like the previous owner might have pulled in too close to pole or something, causing the plate holder to just barely make an indentation into the bumper.

BALLZ!!! I was prepped to plug the holes, but now it looks like new bumper/paint or putting the front holder back on. We only run one plate in AZ, and I'm not a fan of those cheesy license plate inserts.

Oh well!

I suggest puttin it baack on unless you want to get that repaired.. but that's gonna cost you a pretty penny. If you can afford it, fix it. If not, put the plate back on as a temp fix.

^I've seen a guy with something like that on his rear bumper.
He heated the area up to soften it and pushed it out...looked pretty damn good.

it should work.

I once reversed my ex girl scion into another car...oops.

weeks later I got the end of a broom stick and pushed out the dent I made. Dent pushed out like a charm.

Body shop here in LV fixed mine on my rear bumper. Doesn't look like it ever had a problem. Easily fixed.

that's very easily fixed. We have a shop here called Dent Xpress. They fix dent's (tiny and large) like nothing ever happened. I'm pretty sure you have something similar over there.

Google PDR in your area...Paintless Dent Repair. If all else fails.

Awesome guys, thanks. I was under the impression that on urethane (or the like) that you couldn't reshape it or worse, repaint it, without it being stripped bare. Anyway, I'm going to try pushing it out first, and if that doesn't work, call on some PDR. My boss had some dings taken out on his Denali (albeit metal panels) and it came out phenomenal.
