Hit a patch of black ice last night, and ended up with some pretty serious cosmetic damage to my 09 Acura TL



Can anyone give me some suggestions as to possible avenues I can pursue outside of getting a new stock bumper?

I was planning on doing some mods this spring so it'd be great if I could somehow turn this into a positive, and find an aftermarket fix.

Long time reader, first time poster, thanks for the help.

 

from the picture it doesn't look that critical imo look like all you need to do is pop the perforated links back in to the slots and it will sit flush if they are not badly strained or damage and use heat to re-shape your bumper it is polyutherane material

 

I had the same happen to me with my old Accord. I just went to one of those shops that do the paint-less-dent fixes. They removed the bumper and with some heat they re-shaped it like new. Re-installed it and it looked like nothing happened. All for $200, 3 years ago.

Before that, I went to a local body shop associated with a Honda dealership and they quoted me $1300! For what? To remove and check behind it if there is any damage on the body etc. and in the process replace it along with a bunch of other parts behind the bumper cover that after all were just fine !

 

just new rear bumper.. thats all.. you should just drive like that till the seasons over.. no point of replacing it when the there are good numbers that it is going to happen again
