Left some deep chips

So on a bad call i decided to see if my bike would fit in my car *it did* However in my rush i banged the petals against the rear bumper where it meets the truck.

About 6 dings about half a inch long each and very deep. All the way through the paint, clear coat, primer and a small chunk of the bumper itself.

So now im here feeling like crap because i managed to mess up my rear bumper on a car ive had for less than 2 weeks and i did it in under a minute.

What are my options here?

Well it's only the bumper. Worst case you could get a new bumper I would imagine. But maybe someone at a body shop could fix it for you.

Thinking a custom color paint over, design, or a area vinyl wrap.

Edit/post a picture - maybe some uniquely talented (you know who you are) 86r would contribute their concepts.

It's an opportunity to unwrap some creative gifts.

(I'M NOT seriously suggesting anything if I say: diamond skid plate ;but...)

I guess either ill have to get that part fixed or just wait it out for a nice aftermarket bumper i like.

Hopefully powerhouse amuse comes out with something nice like they did for the 370z
