C5Z Front bumper damage
Was in route to get my yearly safety inspect and got into accident (low speed) and have damage to my front bumper, I am thinking most of the could potentially be buffed and polished out but the dent not sure what can be done or if shops are just going to tell me to replace the whole thing. Thoughts?

Looks like you have a physical crack in the bumper, I think a whole new bumper is in your future, but hard to tell just by the picture...

I would just replace the whole front fascia.
