I was involved in a small accident and my front bumper was pushed in a bit, maybe about an inch to two inches. Does anyone know of any way to fix this at home or would it definitely have to be taken to an auto body shop? Any idea what the costs might be if I do it one way or the other? I took some pictures here: http://sdrv.ms/M4ewyq . I can take more if people need more details. I was going up a slight incline so it might have been pushed a little bit downward too. Please let me know! Thanks

Welcome to NICO.

I would take it to a body shop.

If you do it yourself, you'll need to remove the headlight assemblies, remove the bumper cove, and check to see if the bumper support was pushed back or damaged. Honestly it doesn't look too bad so it may be a cheap fix.

I'd at least take it to a body shop for a free estimate and see how bad they think it is.
