Unhappy Dent Question

Hey, I have a 2004 Corolla which, last night, I put a dent in. Its about the size of a soccer ball and in the plastic front bumper, on the lower passenger side. I know there is no way to know specifically, but what kind of damage (ballpark) do you learned gentle-people think I am looking at, and should it be fixed or replaced? Could it be done easily at home? Thank you for any information.

since its plastic... isnt the bumper cracked? im surprised.

you could try taking the bumper off(optional) and popping it out like said above. that could work but itl probably leave a crease in the edge of the dent.. or it could crack it when you bend it back...

how much is a bumper guys? 200? plus paint maybe?

id say if its bad just replace it... it wont look the same if you try to fix it (IMO) and bumper covers arent that bad to change. its like one bolt in each wheel well and liek 4-6 under the car or so.. plus maybe one or two more under teh grill or something

if its a tiny dent id probably wait for someone to hit my car and ten have it replaced then... but i drive a beater car... =\

good luck.
