Find a good auto body shop and I'm sure you'll be fine. The stealership will charge you out the ying-yang for it, but they will do a good job as well.

I had my car for a week before someone hit it in the parking lot and left a huge scratch on the bumper and rear rim. The guy stayed there though, so we got the police involved, and I didn't have to pay for the repairs, so the dealership FULLY replaced everything, so I got a brand new bumper and wheel. They did give me the bill even though the guy's insurance paid for it. It was a bit over $2000.

Yeah it doesn't look too bad. I did the same thing with one of my previous cars, it should definitely be repairable.

i'm guessing that it'll cost about $500-700 to fix and repaint the entire bumper depending on how much the shop's hourly rate is in your area
