    It kinda worked out good though as a month later the wife came home one day and it looked like somebody drilled a perfect 3/4 of an inch hole in it. Perfect hole punched in it. I give up.

    Whats really weird is 6 months ago we went to new England for vacation and rented new car. Came out of the hotel in the am and perfect hole punched in the rear bumper.
    I cant think of what on somebody's bumper would cause that. A trailer hitch with a pointed end on it?

    Here is my thread on my learning process of finding and replacing my 2007 bumper

    In short, I am totally satisfied with an aftermarket $260 bumper I bought on eBay, looks just fine and it was easy to install.
