BRZ Front Bumper Damage from High Curb - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi folks,

This is the first time my BRZ has been damaged in any way in my year of owning it so it feels like I just killed my own baby. I hit a deceptively high curb while parking today with the front of my bumper and the bottom of it is now covered in a long gouge, as well as the paint being completely stripped off the two prongs on the front. At first I thought it was simply cosmetic damage, but then I took a second look and saw that the bumper has actually shifted forwards on the left side and pulled away from the headlight housing about an inch. Pics to follow when I get off work..

Any advice on what I should do and how much this will cost? Right now I'm guessing at the very least somewhere in the $700-$1000 range since I believe this is more than cosmetic damage.

Thanks.
