Can body shop fix this?
 
So I just got this nismo front bumper today. But it has damages on one corner that will connect to the fender due to the shipping. Before I get in touch with the sender and shipping company, I want to know if it's a big deal or a good body shop will make it perfectly "invisible". Any input will be appreciated!:tiphat:

The other corner isn't broken:

A good bodyshop will be able to fix it, but plan on spending 2 or 3 hours of labor on it

Just looks like a scuff. Just sand it down and re-round it off.

:iagree:

Yeah, if it's just unpainted plastic, it shouldn't be a big deal to fix.

Thanks guys!:tiphat: I am sure the bodyshop can re-round it off. But what I am worried about is it would look shortened and won't line up perfectly with the fender.

The shop can shave the other side to match but its goingnto look like a chunk is missing at each corner. Where did you buy this?

Yea that's the thing I worry about. I bought it from a vender on here.
