Hey guys. I recently got hit on the corner of my rear bumper. Some guy tried to park and hit me while i was in class. I was wondering if there was a way to pop it back out? Not sure if you can see it in the picture but its at the left corner where the broken side marker is.

 

It should be able to pop out given it's polyurethane however the paint might crack

 

Heat, either what the pros use (a hot water tank) or a heat gun and it will pop itself out and the paint might not be to bad.

 

is it right on the corner of bumper to right of that broken side marker? you can try heating it up and popping it out, however it may come out a bit wavy.

 

sucks. i got hit while i was in class too =\. try to heat it up and pop it out so the paint dont crack

 

If the paint has cracks in it before you pop it back it the paint will more than likely chip off during the fix.

I actually had the same exact thing happen to me. I ended up using that as an excuse to kit out my car. Mine looked far worse than yours but was actually probably about the same actual damage wise. Besides the bumper needing replacing I had to get a new turn signal

 

I just don't want to pay for a new bumper. My friend paints my stuff for really cheap so I can always paint it. I just don't want to spend another 150 to 200 on a used bumper with a broken tab. Thanks for the help guys I think I'll try to heat it up and pop it out. Its worth a try.

 

I could get a new unpainted bumper from my local lexus for $250.00 through wholesale pricing. Worth a shot to see what you can do if you ever need to replace it with a new one.
