Personally I'd consider some sandpaper and a can of spray paint - then live with that little dent. My daughter backed the H3 into our (very solid) mailbox & put a dent in the bumper. For about $8 the dent is barely visible.

That would of been my decision if it wasn't up to my dad. But the bumper also cut into the lower quarter panel, so that had to be repaired as well. My buddy brought back all the pieces and it looks great. He did an awesome job for just $250 when it would of costed $900 at his body shop.

Any pics of it fixed so we can see this good job that has been done? How did your friend manage to fix it.

I should have it back on by tonight! It's raining pretty hard so I'm not sure if I can get some pics. But I'll see what I can do. He heated the bumper up and molded back into shape, then reprinted it. He did the same with the lower quarter panel.

Here's a pic of the bumper off. Call me weird, but I think it looks kind of mean. Haha.

Just got it put back on last night around 1130. Just a quick pic I took this morning. I'll try to get a better one up.

The color is actually what he calls Smoked Gray. The color actually doesn't look quite right to me, but it still looks great! I kinda wish I asked him to color match it just to see what it'd be like!

Yea I havent seen any color matched bumpers on any H3's. Still looks good. Glad to see a fellow H3 owner running some mud grapplers. I think they should all come standard with them. They are a great tire.
