Take it to a PDR (paintless dent repair) to get the bump/dent out and get a good pro detailer to buff out the scratches and fill in the paint chip. Much cheaper than replacing the whole bumper.

I agree. People don't give a damn about their own stuff, much less somebody elses.

PDR removes bumps and dents in sheet metal. The technique doesn't work on a flexible plastic bumper cover. Repair of a plastic bumper dent involves work with an abrasive wheel, fillers, and then painting the repair with an airbrush.

technique had good advice. Its' so minor wait till you really back into something. I see that you are in san fran, so when i was out there working i remember parking. In san fran you basically park by brail(sp). you have to parallel park so close that you are going to get those a lot.

no cuz i could barely see it and i wonder how noticeable it is if i was to stand up and look down......nobody gonna bend over and stare at the bottom of the car. that's rare.....so save your money and get some mod done...then they'll focus on the mod instead. =P
