Can this be pounded out???

[mikeyk101]

So, theoretically of course, let's say someone was to accidentally back into a tree and crease the bumper like this photo, is it possible to pound it out or will it just need to be replaced? Not admitting to anything, asking for a friend...

You can beat it out but it will look like it's been beat out. If you want it to look new you will have to buy one, might find a good one at a salvage yard.

Yeah, kinda what I thought too. At least it's just cosmetic. Could have been a lot worse. I will pass this advice along to my "friend"...

Maybe tell him not to drink so much beer, makes the trees easier to see.

I'd at least try before replacing... use wood blocks of a larger size than just a hammer.  You could probably get it at least really close.

He said it was a friend", not an enemy.

Check your Local Body shop ( take off ) / salvage yard / craiglist . Don't Forget CAR Shows ? SWAP Meets .  Good luck

Just so you have some ideas.

I don’t have any experience with this company & looks like might have to go though a stealership or body shop to use them? but might be worth checking them out & see if you got a guy in your area.

Don't your backup beepers work Mikey?

New bumpers are around $500 on eBay.
