Bent bumper

[Walmart Security]

heres the deal...i was sitting at the drive through at mcdonalds and a car rearended me...making me hit the car in front of me...the back bumper was pushed in alittle but BUT the front bumper got pushed down. when i say down i mean where the bumper meets the fenders on both sides. my question is...how do i un bend it? is it even possable? the bumper itself does not appear to be bent it looks like the mounts are bent or something
EDIT: the driver did not have insurance (the police were called) im just trying to avoid a 500 dollar deductable to get it fixed

Bending bumpers back is very diffiult. I would recommend trying to get a check from the insurance company and getting a bumper from a junkyard to swap on. The bumper comes off with 4 bolts.

If the bumper itself doesn't appear bent, I would loosen up the bumper mounting bolts and see if you can reposition it. There is a good deal of play there, and you might be able to position it back to normal that way.

$2,500? You could have a bitchin' custom bumper and a winch (even a little red one) for that kinda money.
