if it is not through, or should I look for a new bumper cover? Also, anyone have any idea how much one runs?

UGH. I hate pick-ups, and anyone who could hit someone's car in a parking lot and just leave.

Default Yeah, but I will probably eat this one. Might be easier. My insurance company is still...

trying to get money from the guy who totaled his Suburban on my back bumper last year.

Default I had the same thing on an old SuperCoupe I owned and had a bumper

place repair and paint and you could not tell at all from the front side. Don't give up as someone in your area is bound to be able to repair it. Cost about $200 including shooting the paint.
