It really is always fixable, but you'd end up spending a lot of money and more time trying to make it look the way it should.
It will cost you more, but I would go with a new front bumper because it will save you a lot of trouble and frustration.

Any ideas on the cost to fix? vs. NEW?
Also times not really that much of an issue. So would take my time on fixing it.

By new, I assume you would be getting a used one in the classifieds and repainting it.

Well a decent used one would be ideal, I have been looking forever. When one shows up in the classifieds I jump on it. 2 sellers backed out and several have been in damaged condition.
So how much is that svt bumper worth in that condition?

Honestly it doesnt look that bad. I have seen worse on here that people have fixed back to new. Id say its saveable with a little bondo, just dont go nuts and take your time. Oh and buy the right materials that always makes a difference.
