Default Will this buff out?

No seriously. Is this repairable?

Here's the story:

Got into an accident, so I picked up the Shine Amuse style bumper. Not 24 hours after I got my car out of the shop, I get rear-ended and got pushed into the car in front of me.

Can you tell me if this bumper is toast or if it can be fixed?

Please let me know.









Also, if anyone has recommendations for a GREAT body shop in Central LA area (Downtown/Koreatown/West Los Angeles), I'd prefer to take my car to a place that will have my car looking as flawless as possible.

We've dealt with Real Autoworks for a few of our projects and have never had an issue. Talk to Brian and tell him we sent you.

Repairable, yes, but your hood looks out of alignment and you may want to check under the hood for additional damage.

If it were mine, I would replace the nose piece. Sorry about your run of bad luck with people who cannot drive!

Is the bumper urethane or fiberglass? Its repairable either made. But if its urethane, you can use a heat gun and easily heat up the damaged area and reshape it yourself if you don't want that huge indent until you get a bodyshop to fix it.

Sorry to hear you mishap, but thats why they're called bumpers for a reason.
