hey a few weeks ago i was at a stop light and some lady rear ended me at probably like 15-20 mph. it felt like a hard hit but actually it only made an indentation in my rear bumper from her two front license plate screws (take a look at picture included). anyways..she told me to take it to this body shop and they said it would cost $275 to fix. so i told the lady that and she paid me that much. however i still have not gotten the work done. i heard that it just takes epoxy and honda factory paint to fix. will this be easy to do? i can buy both of these for probably tops $15. what i wanted to do was fix it myself for this much and buy a cd player with the rest of the money...hehe. any suggestions or tips?? anything will help..thanks.

I've got something similar, but not as bad, from parallel parking, someone bumped me and tore about a 1/2" scratch in mine. No big deal, but I've only had the car for a little over a month, so it pissed me off.

ive done something almost exactly similar (but alot bigger) to my rear bumper. i dont know whether to pay the 90 bucks for a new one and paint it or take it to a shop and get a quote on its repair, i have no clue how much these things cost, any ideas anybody?
