nothing will fix that bumper, they all get slight bumps in them



maybe if the car sits in a garage its whole life it wont get

deformed bumpers?

thats an idea.... but then again, it would probably be a common practice if there is a benefit to it

I thought the styrofoam under it helped keep the shape? Try replacing that?

nope, new foam would do nothing, mine is deformed a bit and its the original

never hit from bumper and i know for a fact the foam is perfect, I had

the bumper off twice.
