Default Hit and run - bumper

Someone backed into my car in a parking lot while I was inside shopping. Was in and out for a maximum of 30 min.

Parked in the farthest spot possible.

Anyways, would love to know what my options are. I much prefer to keep the existing bumper. But the cracks that you see in one of the photos is worrying me.

I don't see an option other than to replace it. It will fit better in the long run

He’s right. A repair will always be visible. If you’re even a little like me, you won’t be happy with it. My IS was hit and run and it put the “Camry dent” in the back bumper. It required a new bumper skin. Color match was prefect.
