Front bumper damage
Repairable? Or is this only replaceable? Sucks!

cheaper alternative would be buying a lip that hides the damage.

Two shops say that it's repairable. They'll cut out a section and fiberglass it. Any thoughts out there?

This is absolutely repairable, and they'll repair it like they said - patch with fibreglass, then smooth it out with body filler before repaint. The repair will only be evident from behind the bumper.
