Default WOW. Insurance adjuster just hooked me up....need some advice!
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28628/bump.jpg"></center><p>Ok, so some of you may remember that a 78 year old lady bumped into my rear last sunday. Well, it's a tiny dent as you can see.

Adjuster just cut me a check for 700 dollars to "replace the bumper"

1) Think i can just find someone to buff it out or something? or at least make it look a little better for cheap?

2) what can i buy for 700???? painted lowers? any cheap body kits? How much is the "aero" factory body kit?(not interested in buying a chip in case you're wondering)

Guess this whole situation worked out pretty well....

Paintless dent removal is mostly just for sheet metal.. Not plastic like bumpers

Default I agree... sometimes they can push it out...
they also use tricks like epoxying a piece of material on the inside of the bumper to keep it straight.

They usually start at paintless dent removal but broaden to get more work.
