hell that can be fixed....
You think so? I was kind of worried about the metal strength after that much stress.... and we don't have the tools to do it right.

I think it could be fixed also. It's not much of a bumper bar really in the first place. But that's just my opinion... and opinions do vary!

ALWAYS... just in different ways....
I too think it could just be straightened out. Some pliers or vice grips and a hammer. Maybe some clamps. All it really does is keep the front spoiler from flopping around. You won't be able to see it and it doesn't provide any type of structural protection.

I would give it a try before spending the money. You cant see it when the cover is installed. Worst case it looks better until the replacement part comes in. The trick is, and don't laugh, to pull it back the way it was crushed in. Meaning take the time to look at the brackets the start hammering and pulling in the opposite direction of the folds. Damn, this is hard to explain.
What @Ruptured Duck means is put it back on and drive in reverse... Then @KayTwo f#cks it up again...
So, I figured I would update everyone on the bar straightening attempt. Me, my trusty hammer, and mini mallet went out to beat a bar (Wow does that sound dirty!). Anyways, get the bracket a bit straighter and notice that half of the bracket has separated from the bar. Lacking welding tools (I mean, how hard can welding really be... Kidding of course, that's one of the many arts...) I think a new bar is in order. Thanks for all the recommendations to use the hammer though!!!!!

If nothing else I bet it was good therapy!

@KayTwo told me you could beat his bar anytime you want to (Wow does that sounds dirty!)

Get a little hammer.....
Just wondering who or what you pictured in your mind while swinging that hammer?

I could tell you, but @Bill Martin would probably advise against it as anything I say could be used against me....
