It's probably going to need to be repaired by a professional. I really hate inconsiderate drivers.

I hate that. Sorry to hear but it sounds like a body shop is called for.

Somebody is going to suggest clear bra, I just know it.

But, how about a couple of those po-leeece car pushbars, front and rear?

I guess not.....

While driving through NYC I saw cars parked with what looked like a rubber sheet over the rear bumper. If I remember right it was called bumper buddy.

What about how people say the regular body shops won't use the ceramic particle paint and it won't match in a few years?? Is this true?

Maybe if you do a pencil rubbing on paper over the bumper, their license numbers will appear?

I had that happen twice with a black Millenia I owned prior to my C. I trimmed the rough edge away with a razor and then filled it with several coats of touch up paint.(several being 10-15) I used a light polishing compound to touch it up and finished with a glaze style wax. Of the three I repaired, two looked very good and one was virtually undetectable. Of course, it depends on how hard this guy got into you as mine were no more than a 1/4 inch deep.
