A wooden 8x8 pole next to my parking spot sorta jumped out and bit the RF of my bumper one day (garbage truck blocking my exit, took a different angle, it's a long story).... need some help from you DIY'ers on what type of body filler or compound I could use to patch the holes... want to try that before I shell out about a grand for a new bumper and re-attaching my body kit..... I've got all the professional sanding blocks, clay, 3M scratch compound, and touch-up paint, but need help finding filler for the front hole...

thanks!

I would ask a body shop for the right material short of replacing the bumper. The fill needs to flex like the bumper cover or a least flex with it. I've been seeking it myself and would like to know what you find.

got rear ended, the rear bumper had a crack the same size as your wholes. I thought for sure, new car, new bumper. The body shop didn't want to do it (top noch shop) because they thought that fixing the original one would come out better than a replacement. Never would have known it was damaged. Might not cost too much to have it fixed, maybe $200 to $300 (compared to the $2k you indicated for the new bumper).
