Help! Suggestions for shops to fix this bumper scratch :(
So I backed into a concrete pillar in my underground parking lot one tired morning. It was a complete failure on my depth perception's part but luckily the bumper doesn't seem too bad. :bang

Where would you guys recommend in the GTA to get this repaired cheaply? I've heard of chipmasters from redflagdeals but it seems like they do smaller jobs than this one. Three plastic panels have been scratched pretty deeply so I have no idea if repair or replacement is the best restoration route.
Input would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup

Richard at Street Performance or Barry at Velocity AutoBody. My guess is $300-$400.

replacement is the only way it'll come out right... look at where the reflector goes in... its deformed there... no way to "pop it out"

Mine isnt as bad but I had some damage in same area and see the area where the reflector is, it is textured paint and Richard pretty much suggested getting another bumper unless you dont mind it being shiny like the regular part of the bumper as the textured paint cant be replicated.

best bet is to replace it something similar happened to me. i went on kijiji and found a new 1 and got it painted for $180 through a friend. Maaco wanted $250

Thanks for all the helpful replies :)
The textured plastic bit can be replaced separate from the normal-paint bumper parts no? Most bumpers I've found on eBay look like they don't come with the textured plastic bits (where the reflectors are).
I think if I got it repainted I'd be able to live with it, even though the light would reflect differently on that spot. Then I could just replace the textured part?
I haven't found any suitable bumpers online yet, guess I'll keep looking for a sweet deal. $180 I'd take in a heart beat. :thumbsup
