My bumper is a little ****ed up. There is a dent on the passenger side, not a large one, but it's there. There is also some type of large deep scratch on it as well. I was originally going to just get the WW RS lip because it was cheaper and looked nice, but do you guys think it would be cheaper to replace the entire bumper rather than get it fixed? It would also have to be repainted because as you can see from the pics, the paint is faded (the car was just cleaned in those pics).

you don't get dents in urethane bumpers.

if the "dent" was always there since you bought the car than it could be non oem bumper replaced if the car was in an accident. and the "dent" is probably just because it's not oem and lines don't match up perfectly.

if it happened after that.

perhaps some how it got pushed, and something is pulling it in.

but urethane doesn't dent.

new oem bumper can be had for $100-$150 depending on your hook up. and then the price of the rs lip and paint.

so it's up to you.

You're right, after further inspection it looks like the dent in the fender is pushing that side of the bumper down a little which is making the corner lense not line up properly.

bumper just needs to be repainted. it'll be cheaper to buy a new fender than to repair it at a shop
