Ok, so about a month and a half ago to 2 months ago I was hit in a parkinglot, some guy musta backed into my car and drove off(ASSHOLE) anyways, I was wondering, how should I fix this crack/dent-ish thing on my rear bumper? I'm trying to stay cost efficient, and I want to DIY. so how should i do it? should i sand it down, fill the crack with some Fiberglass or some bondo sand it and then paint it? or what?
Here are 3 pics of the damage, you assess it and tell me what I should do. #1

How much does a new unpainted bumper cost from the dealer?
I'd really like to stick to a DIY job, cus i'm short on cash, coming up on college in october.

paint it urself with spraypaint, but a hard and time consuming job. or else you can use the touch up paint, but got to use it right. a touch a day.

I pretty much know how to paint it, but how do i fix the crack??? it's like a hairline fracture to the bumper and it kinda pushes it up and it protrudes and shit. should i Fiberglass it in that area and sand it down? I'm thinking that I might as well just buy a body kit if it's going to cost me about the same price for a bumper either way. Yeah, I like those shorts

I would just save up the cash and get it done right by a pro.

Alright, seems like I'm gonna have to try and keep pimpin' with the cellulite in the back I won't be able to get my body kit until after this summer... IF I get a job this summer... it's not looking so good atm. Once I go to college in October it should be a lot easier to make money... I hope.
