You should be able to get a panel shop to plastic weld the damage and repaint it for you.

Can't really tell the damage from the pic, but if they can't fix it, it's a good excuse to replace it with a bodykit!

That would be more expensive unless you planned on doing a bodykit anyway..

if that's all the damage you have it would probably be about 200 to 300 bucks

Go get an estimate.. they are free :D

If you know a GOOD car detailer he could probably fix that with a little touch up paint.

I went to the dealership they told me that they cant do a touch up cuz it cheaped the urethane not just the paint. I'm thinking about getting the clear bra that way I dont have to worry about scratches and so on

They can, I have several dents in my urethane bumper and they quoted me 400 I have 3 on the upper bumper and one on the lower like yours..

I also hit a dog a few weeks ago and they repaired a hole in the urethane.

I'm no body repair guy.. but im pretty sure they can fix that too.. They either heat it.. or I think there's some compound they can put in there, then repaint... Like I said, they repaired a small hole through my front bumper cover and it's like new.

Before you spend $400 on fixing a damaged bumper, check with Mazda what it will cost to get a brand new painted bumper. Several people have had their bumper replaced and I've been told it's under $300 for a brand new painted bumper.

Probably not right away.. but you still have to pay the deductable.. which is usually 250 or 500 bucks anyway..
