Default Messed up my rear bumper

Looks like i messed up the lower part of the rear bumper.

Is there a way to fix this without having to change the entire bumper?

it looks like it's just a bend. you can try to heat it up and push it out. if it doesn't work then u can proceed to buy a new rear bumper. i bet that thing doesn't cost that much considered it's just an piece of plastic without any paint.

I'm wondering if the black part is a separate piece or if its all molded as 1 piece.

It would be great if I can get just that black part.

You may be in luck. Once you check to see what piece it really is that is damaged, you may want to check Sewell:

They are a separate piece if you are just asking about the rear apron.

I would detach the rear apron and take a heat gun to it and flatten it out.
