I cant help but chuckle when i read this. the bumper is made of a form of polyeurithayne ( spelling and possibly not the right plasic) its something between PVC/Fiberglass/and rubber. anyway, its made to minimize dents. what you might want to have looked at is the safety bar that sits under the front bumper (behind it) to make sure that wasnt broken by the collision.
IMHO

Hey guys, been away for a while but i'm back and glad to be back reading up on your tips and stories...i have a little story myself

2 days ago, while my pt parked in a parking lot, a suv jumped over the curb and smashed a civic parked next to my pt,luckily my car was just brushed with the truck's side into my bumper...my bumper had a big dent on the driver's side....
so now my mind is racing thinking of which front facsia do i replace it with...the viper? the smoothie?
anyways,after 4 hrs waiting for the cops to show up and give us our accident reports,i end up going home ,still pondering...
next day,i go out to work,the dent is still there...i get to work,make an appointment with other driver's claims adjuster....
this is where it gets spooky...
at about 1 pm i go out to see my dent again, and guess what? IT'S GONE.....all that's left is scuff marks and not much more evidence of it being smashed in...i don't get it..is it possible for a big dent into the front bumper to bring itself back into shape??is it made of rubber? bare in mind that it was sunny and a bit warm...
has anyone seen anything like this?
what is the adjuster going to say? is he goona laugh at my face and tell me "you're claiming $1000 for some scratches?????"
should i go out and smash the same spot again to see what happens?

sorry for writing so much,i needed to tell you guys about this and ask for advice...
thanks
