I was hoping to fix this for less than the $250.00 deductable and not spoil
my flawless insurance record. The bumper is dented in two places. I was
strong enough to pull one of the dents out be reaching into the opening
where the plastic grill is mounted and giving it a good pull. It went
"boink" and popped back into shape without damaging the paint. I'm not
strong enough to pull the other dent out however if it pops out under
hydraulic pressure, the only remaining damage to the bumper will be the 5"
tear. If the tear can be repaired, then, I can ignore the bent radiator
mount, buy the plastic grill pieces (center piece and piece that surrounds
one fog light) and a new fog light housing. Anyone know if the tear can be
repaired?
