There is a small 1 inch crease and a little 0.5 inch bump on the right side of my rear bumper. You can see them up close, but from 5-6 feet away, it is not very noticeable. Should I fix it (repainting the bumper)?

 

They're not noticeable enough. Wait 'til you get a few more, then do it. I can't even spot them on the second picture (without really, really looking, at least).

 

I should post pics of my bumper sometime for comparison...then you'll see one that needs repainting

 

i know thats its worse because you know thats its there but think of it this way no one else does (besides us fellow s2k owners). i was in an accident with my poor poor baby, shes all better now but i had to have the back bumper replaced and ther is a small flaw in it where there is a tiny little extra milimeter of space on the one side of the seam, i dont know how i noticed it but i did, i was gona get it fixed then decieded its not worth getting an entire new bumper..........

 

Yeah, but this is my baby. I take real good care of it. Always garaged at home. At work, I use the car cover. I know the new paint job may have flaws too, but at least it wont be a 1- inch horizontal crease and a 1/2-inch little hump. The pix dont do justice, it's more noticeable in real life.

 

Also, should I paint the black part above from the exhaust tips? I think it looks nicer painted, but I am afraid when I sell the car, people would think I had an accident before. What do you guys think?

Your new rear bumper, is the black part painted too?

 

With my luck, I'd get it repainted, then someone would hit me in the same place the following week. Door dings I take care of... bumpers, no.
