Can my front bumper be repaired...
Or is it better to just replace it? Long story short, "tapped" the rear of a vehicle with a hitch due to my first gear jumping while at a stop. Thanks in advance!

Definitely need a new bumper. Try to pull one off a TL as the aftermarket ones crack like glass. The one on your car looks like an aftermarket already? Usually originals mangle up and take bumps well.

No, buy a used front bumper with the same color for an easy swap over.

any body shop will tell you that the bumper needs to be replaced.
you have the odd few body shops that MIGHT repair it for you if you have the piece that broke off.
they'd still recommend replacing it though.
SSM is a pretty common colour, hopefully you can find one used.

Thanks for everyone's opinions! I am in search of a used one for an easy swap. It is an OEM bumper. It jumped first gear due to the alternator dying. Is that even normal to happen? Before the incident occurred, the car was experiencing a jump, there was a delay before engaging into first gear.
