damn im sorry about that. im always paranoid of getting rear-owned. i havent had experience in snow, but maybe 3m blue painters tape? and it wouldnt be too noticeable from far away cuz ur ABP?... gg. it might be obvious but don't use duck tape, that crap will Fu your Sh up.

yea its a really big hole and the piece in the middle actually comes off..... im sooo lucky my lip didnt get damaged....im jus trying to figure out how to cover it

Sorry to hear about that. I hope the lip is ok. Looks like all you will need is a new rear bumper. There is no need to cover that hole up since everyhing back there gets wet as it its from underneath the car.

Sorry to hear about your accident. The best is to use silicon caulking as glue to adhesive a piece of plastic on top of a big hole, it sticks and you can peel it off easily. Never use tape or duct tape, that will definitely ruin your bumper paint or makes it look every ugly; unless you don't care and will have the whole bumper re-paint anyway.

If you are getting new bumper anyway, then I would use duct tape that comes in blue, if available. I usually clean under the rear bumpers in spring time and there are so much sand/crap that ends up there so maybe having a gaping hole might help flush down all that salt and sand.
Are you in Quebec by any chance? How is that winter tire law affecting people? We could not get winter tires in Winnipeg due to shortage caused by that law in Quebec.

Why wait. Just get it fixed. If you get rear ended again you get rear ended. Just get it fixed.

getting rear ended is usually not your fault, unless your paris hilton or jenna jamison. So, if you have insurance, get if fixed. The chances of it happening again are rare, but just keep your eyes in the rear view mirror. That is what insurance is for, use it...you pay your premiums, now get back what you put in, just my
