Unhappy Poor Chuckles has an owee

wasn't paying attention and backed into a light pole. i'm wondering if this is repairable as is or if i should just suck it up and buy a new rear bumper.

Your picture dimensions were too large. Here is the pic resized. It is repairable, but with bodywork and repainting, a new (or used) skin would probably be cheaper. Too bad it isn't white, as I have a perfect white one sitting around.

Not that bad. Me, I would live with it for a while.
Buff it with some Nu-finish or scratch remover and touch up.
It is a bumper and you will get more of these courtesy of your fellow citizens.

It's not going anywhere for quite a while, too many other mods and projects to do. I'll definitely keep an eye on sales of bumpers!
