So how well can a bumper be repaired?
Not my Coupe, but my wife caught the edge of the bumper cover on her car on something backing up this morning. It pulled it out to the right side a bit and cracked the cover. 
I've never had one "fixed" before -- are these easily fixable, or should I just brace myself for a new bumper cover? Too bad it couldn't have been mine, which needs respraying anyway! Not looking so much for the cheapest cosmetic fix, as the long term durable fix -- the car only has 45K on it and 0 door dings or other scuffs, so I suspect we will be keeping it a long time. I don't want to have to re-fix it in 5 years.

Thanks, I was hoping as much. 
Just one of those things, but I'm pretty sure that there is a support somewhere bent a bit. But at least all the gaps up top where the fender meet are good.

Should be fixable, just make sure to check reviews of the shop before you go and I'd even see if they'd let you check out some of their work. There are way to many places that do ****ty work and get away with it.
