on my 96 accord back in the day, I let my girlfriend drive it (now wife) and she put the front bumper over a parking curb block thing.... well, it ripped the entire front bumper off. You have it pretty easy...

The bumper is easily repairable. There are guys like Bumper Medic who can fix scrapes like that. Plan on spending $150-225.
I let me girlfriend drive my car to get some breakfast. She ended up curbing the wheels while going through the drive-through at McDonalds. That was the worst egg mcmuffin I've ever had. Just keep your cool, but let her know that it really sucks.
I still bring it up everytime I get in trouble.

Yeah funny thing, I was out of town yesterday and I got a call from my gf that said "Don't be mad, but I hit bumped your car into the wall in a parking garage. But it didn't do anything I swear!" Luckily, she was right!

How can you be mad at her? Be mad at yourself for letting her drive the car! Or, it could be that you really do like her a lot seeing that you let her drive your car. If this were the case you would know for sure because then you wouldn't be mad if she did something like that to it.
My ex ran my Expedition into the garage door which did basically the same thing as what happened to your ride, but in this case my house was messed up too. Another time she ran her Accord into my RX right after I had hand polished the whole car. As usual, she ended up blaming me somehow.
You would be surprise at what you can buff out. You might try filling in the spots that are deep and then using polishing compound on it. I was able to fix some stuff that was on my GS's bumper when I bought it that way.

crap happens!!! if the damage is to deep, you might have to apply a little bondo to replace the plastic, then paint it like TEXASLEX said. shouldn't cost much, unless the body shop requires that you paint the whole bumper to match. I wouldn't even bother, it's minor and not thattttt noticeable.

Dude follow TRD POWER's advice. That will be the sheapes way. You might want to talk to whom ever you find, and have him/her do it on the side to save some cash but $150-$250 would not be a bad price. Good luck and don't be mad life is too short. But make sure that from now on she drives her own car.

That is great. My wife is scared of driving my LX470 and SC400 because she thinks that if something happens I will devorce her. I just tell her is just a car! (yeah right).
