i found that when i came out of a bank. my guess is, i either hit it pile of snow/ice while i was parking that wasnt as soft as i expected, or someone kicked it in. eitherway, any advice on how to fix it? anyone have any diagrams or a way i can get in there and hammer it out?

Your probably best off taking the bumper assembly off and loking at it from the inside. A lot of bumper covers are made from material designed to crumple. You may not be able to repair it. Trying to fix it may actually damage it further.

mainly because i am too lazy to take the car apart and access the bumper..... if this fails, i may have to do just that. this really sux...

I suspect this method has more of a chance of working on metal than plastic.
