Sigh, I guess I'll have it looked at.

Fuck me, I didn't even get to ding it myself.

I was told we have eight(!) years to file a claim in Oregon.
Mine was tapped at an intersection. I stalled it when the light turned green and the young girl behind me was texting or something. I'd only had the car a month or two. There was no paint damage, but when I pushed on the bumper plastic, it seemed to push in too far not that I knew how far "too far" was. But nothing felt the least bit loose. I told her not to worry about it.

That was 100,000 miles ago and there has been no issue.

When getting my oil changed at the dealership I did push on the same part of the bumper on a brand new one and it did not push in as far. But There was not really that much difference.

It's never been an issue.

I gotta say, though, I'd really avoid having any part fixed if at all possible if it requires repainting. It may look perfect the day you get it back, but give it a couple of years...
