Well I let my sister take my car out for the day and when she comes back, there are massive scratches on the side of the front bumper!! HOLY ****! well yea... I'm the idiot that let her drive my car...

Anyways, my question is... Is there any way to get rid of the scratches without replacing the whole bumper itself? If this is possible, how much would I be charged at the body shop? Btw, the scratches are pretty deep and I can see the white stuff underneath the paint.

If there is no way without replacing the bumper, how much would it be to replace the front bumper?

repaint it.

depending on the size you can possibly touch it up, if not a body shop can repair it for a pretty minimal fee. but no dont replace the bumper

Thats GENIUS!!
But, yea what will said, just get it repainted. My front bumper got scratched up when some guy tried to parallel park and smacked my car. I just got my front bumper repainted and cost the guy around $200. Also, what you may consider doing is if your going to paint the front bumper you can shave your front emblem, which is what I did too. I liked it cuz i got a even more clean look.

I see I see...

But if you repaint it, is it noticeable? Cuz my scratches are kinda deep

im not talking about just touching it up. if the scratch is only on the paint and not the bumper itself, repainting the whole thing will be fine.

but if a chunk is taken off the bumper's material, the shop will have to do some work to patch it up.

How deep are the scratches

FoB616

deep enough so that you can see some black stuff underneath. I'm no expert but I estimate the depth of the scratch to be
2-3mm.
