Cover dented bumper ideas?

So someone bumped me while I was parked and of course left. I noticed when I got home so I have no idea who or what it was.

Any ideas on how to cover it?

All I could think of is a sticker maybe. I'm not really a fan of stickers but I literally don't have a choice....Grrrrrrr.

It's a bit more labor intensive than putting a sticker over it, but could you remove the bumper cover, slowly heat the spot where the dent is with a heat gun and gently push out the dent from the inside?

***edit: apply heat to the inside, not the paint side.

^ This. At least wait until you can repair it properly but that's just me, I don't like bumper stickers.

Yes you have a choice but you choose to go rice.. yelp mobile bumper repairs or your local body shop and pay to get it done right.

She hates modded G's (not that a sticker is a mod) and thinks they are all rice She is an old school kinda girl (Owned a 67 mustang and Smokey and the Bandit style Trans Am).


I am putting on coils in a few weeks and I have to make sure she doesn't hide the damn things from me when they come in
