Default Is there a way to fix gouges?

I clay barred and waxed my car today and noticed on the front lower portion, below the lower grillof the bumper, one on each side, the area is about 1 1/2 inches long and it looks like it was cut, or hit by something,so now it's rippled and rough.Is there anyway to fix it other than replacing the bumper?

Is it positioned just above the marker lamps? Can you post a picture of it?

Probably can't be fixed. Use this opportunity to buy a GT take off bumper. Painted front GT take off bumpers are listed at $199 at newtakeoff.

or buy the front end of a gt500 for $207, then the headlights for $300. ^.- called the ford dealership, and itll fit the gt, but they're unsure of the v6.

I know the pics make it look like the bumper is all messed up,but actually it's so shiny from all my hardwork it is reflecting everything on the ground. Thanks again for your help.
