Fixing small hole in rear bumper
Backed into an "invisible" street sign post and made a couple small holes & scratches in my rear bumper.
Please take a look at the below pic - is this something an autobody shop can patch up and buff out? Or will this require a new bumper to look decent? If it can be repaired, what is my expected cost? If I need a new bumper, where can I find one other than having a dealership price gouge me? I've looked at some aftermarket ones, but the more reasonably priced ones seem to me to be pretty ugly compared to the OEM IMO. Open to suggestions though. |

The right place should be able to fix it.
I had a "back into" accident a few years ago that I got fixed. Mine didn't puncture the bumper, but it was dented pretty well. I tried to fix it myself and made it into different damage, but still not fixed. The shop fixed it so you couldn't even tell it had been done.

Just slap on some bondo and spray it with plastidip
Or have a competent shop do the work. They should have no trouble repairing it to look new again.

A decent body shop should be able to fix that.
Someone poked a big hole in mine (looked like they backed into me with a trailer hitch) and I had the cover replaced but it was a much larger hole than the holes you have.
