Default Can this be saved?

I'm about to start calling my Mustang Bull's Eye because my back bumper has been hit 3 times since I have had it. All in the same exact place, though so thats good. Yes, once was kinda my fault, but the other 2x no.

Anyway, do you guys think this could be repaired for cheaper than to buy a new bumper? I think its held up very well to the abuse.

*Sorry for the dirt, its been too cold to wash it*

im sure it can be saved, but wouldn't a gt500/cs rear bumper look so much better? haha

Yeah I would go with the California Special valence, but I only have single exhaust. It sounds great and I'm afraid that it won't sound as good with dauls.

well if its constantly being hit then maybe you shouldnt put anything too expensive back there but that is definatley salvagable. but the V6 can still sound amazingly sexy with duals!

Won't sound as good with duals????? You are kidding right? ANYTHING sounds better than the Putt-Putt stock single exhaust.
I put two GT mufflers with an X pipe, mid pipe and it sure does sound sweet! Not to mention it looks waaaaaay better too!
Go for the CS valence with duals, you will be glad you did!
