Default Rear Bumper Accident

Well today, I backed into a pole at a local restaurant. The pole was out of sight, especially with the awful blinds pots us 3s have, and there was a huge power line truck next to me so I was in a tight spot to back up, I ended up denting the left side of my rear bumper pretty bad and am wanting to see if anyone can make custom bumpers, wants to sell a used oem or custom bumper, or knows of any tweaking I can do to my bumper. Please let me know!

A new one is $442.05 shipped from GM Parts Direct, $500 shipped for use is way over priced

Thank you all for the help! My buddy decided to help me and he estimated it would be $900 to repair. But since he's doing it for me he said he'll do it for $250.

I would try to heat it and sledge it back in place first.

What size mud grapplers you running?

Hmmm, I thought you had back up sensors?

That's what it looks like in the damage photo.

@dagkana I'm running 35s

@tainter I do have back up sensors, but they were overly sensitive. The shop that installed new ones did a crappy, quick job. Wind could blow and they would go off, so I turned them off.
