Damaged, New bumper suggestions?

The NISMO bumpers are beautiful, IMHO. I would repair and repaint the OE NISMO. Good luck.

I'll make sure to visit a body shop as soon as I can. I guess checking to see what it would cost to repair may be a good idea. I've just read in the past it tends to be less expensive to replace then repair. But, it may not be the case here. Thanks for the reply.

if it cracked or got dented and was more substantial damage it would possible be cheaper to replace.

that looks like it can be relatively buffed out

That's good news man, I've been worried it wouldn't. It's not cracked, so I guess at least there was a little luck there. It's sounding more like I can just get it fixed now. I'll try going that direction, thanks.

the white is the base layer... there is a black spot and that's the actual plastic. nothing a bit of filler, respray, blend, polish won't fix for you.

I am liking what I am hearing more and more. I think everyone has assured me now that it can be fixed. I greatly appreciate the replies and help on this. I'll move forward with fixing the bumper. I am glad I can keep the stock look.
