    Hey guys,

    So a while back i bent the bumper on my truck... We all make mistakes so whatever. Besides a bumper is there for a reason.

    But anyway, the bumper is really just pushed in about an inch on the passenger side. See picture

    The bumper does not interfere with driving at all, but it bothers the hell of of me that its like that.

    Its not bad

    But I guess my question is, do i try and fix this myself? Take it apart and see how bent the brackets are. My only concern is typically when you take stuff like that apart it doesnt always go back together.

    Second option is buy a new stock bumper and replace all the brackets and whatever

    Third option is buy a plate bumper

    Or really I could just leave it since the truck is 11 years old.

    I just dont like the way it looks even though most people dont notice unless I point it out. It really comes down to money and how much of the stuff I can do myself.

    Just looking for some advice

    Thanks
