rear ended, license plate screws
i got rear ended tonight and it wasn't very hard but enough to leave two screw imprints from the license plate, it made a black circle on my bumper. Is repainting the whole thing the only way to fix this or is there a clean way to do it myself?

i know plenty of ppl who have plate bolt indentations in their bumpers.
most of which is from parallel parking. i don't think they've ever tracked down the culprits. they kind of just deal with it.
would be interested to know, however, if there is diy solution to this problem.

it's not really a dent per se. it's like an impression in the polyurethane. like if you added some pressure to a piece of styrofoam with a blunt object, you'd get an impression. it can't be popped out. but then it's not missing paint or clearcoat either. it's too deep to be buffed out b/c of the nature of the indentation (or is it), and it's not deep enough to pop out and repair.
the bumper badger is a good idea. but sometimes i wonder if that just gives someone the green light to tap your car.

I use them on both my cars and would not leave home without them. In fact it makes people aware that you are anal about your car and they are more careful. They take notice.
