Do I need a whole new bumper or can a paint and body shop fix?

 

You need a new bumper. If the internal bumper is not damaged, then you might only need a bumper cover. You're looking at $2-3k for the parts and repainting.

 

That won't buff out

 

Damn.. what the eff!? You can probably pop it out, but that shit is DONE... none of that is coming off (MAYBE a little)...and a hole is a hole is a hole bro... what happened..?

 

Bondo fixes all

 

watch this:

 

there is always

 

I did know that they can do all that. My friend owns a body shop.. but usually the cost to repair, and then the cost to repaint, is so much, that people usually just buy a new bumper, or a used one from a junkyard... maybe I'm just out of the loop on cost...

 

If it's an old crappy car, Bondo could be a decent solution just to make it less of an eyesore. But for a new-ish car, this calls for an insurance claim.
