Its not overkill. This is not a lite bumper tap, this happen when they were parallel parking. It caught the edge of the bumper near the quarter panel and even broke the mud flap. there are three half dollar spots of paint missing. Trust me if this was a slight bumper tap from normal parking I would not be removing the bumper. Beside the car is only three months old. I want my sh*t to look nice for a decent amount of time.
