Pics of my gashed bumper

What do you guys think? Fix or leave it? It's not too noticable, but it's the first thing I see

I'm thinking of asking the dealership to quote me, since I'm probably going in sometime soon for CP replacement.

Did they repaint the whole bumper or just the dent?

You have to assest the possibility that your bumper might again be abused by inconsiderate lousy drivers....of course it depends where you take or park your car everyday...if its as congested and heavy traffic activity as the neighborhood where I work,I'd rather try to cover it up 1st than spending big repainting or buying a new bumper everytime I get a scratch.
Until there's too much scratches accumulated...thats when I'll get my bumper repainted....For now,the black bumper guards works for me ..its discreet enough to cover the scratch I got & protect the bumper from possible future incidents.

Here's one example site..Choose wisely.....some are nice clean black finish to match the car or trim designed to be discreet...some are plain loud and ugly.
