Default Ripped my Bumper

I was trying to remove my car from a tight parking spot, but while backing up i miss judged a rock on the left side and ripped my bumper

Can you suggest what can be done to fix this.

Thanks
KT.

Is it ripped or just munched?

My wife did something similar to the front bumper on her Corolla. It was about $800 for them to repair & repaint. FWIW, a local high quality body shop quoted me $600 to repaint the front bumper to eliminate a few rock chips.

You could always replace it or install a lip over it.

Thank you,

Dude that sucks. Only way to properly fix it is to replace it. Or you can always and hope someones backs into you and have their insurance pay for it.

A new painted bumper from Sewell (if you have a pre-existing account) is $623. This will be your cheapest option I reckon, but you only have a limited time to order from them.

Oh man, that is rough! Sorry you had that happened to you.

Like the others have mentioned, probably the best way (albeit, most expensive) is to replace to bumper.

Another thing you can do (which would be cheaper) is wrap it carbon fiber like this:
