Well it's not the first time this has happened.... my oldest sis drove my moms new 2002 chrysler cyris into the side of the garage. And it got some white paint stuck to it and a small presure point where the fiber glass bumper popped a little bumb in it and crack the paint around it. As i'm speaking the car is just being pulled away from the wall. lol. But i wanna know if theres a way to fix the bump. Could i lightly hit it with a hammer to pop it back into place?? and buy some of that cream that you put on scratches to get rid of them?? You help would be very apprechiated. Especially from my mom. Who takes great car of here new car.

Are you sure it's fiberglass and not plastic? My mom's '96 Cirrus (yes I know, it is a older body style than yours) has plastic bumpers, and I really didn't know anyone was using fiberglass since plastic is cheaper, easier to make and more dent proof.
Anyway, if it is fiberglass, i'd think that hitting it would cause more damage, possibly even shatter a hole in it. If it's plastic, you might try pushing it out. The white paint should come off with a bit of scrubbing.

yep just checked now and it's plastic... and the dent pushed out of the bumper. not in. lol. she hit the right corner and it created a presure point and poped it up. lol so wut should i use to pop the dent out? it's just a few mm out. no biggy but noticeable. and anyone need parts for a 90 ford tarus with i think a 3.3 engine?? for parts?? lol. My sisters are accident prone and that was my younger sis's car before she crashed. got a bend in the frame that would cost $2000 to fix plus another 500-700 in body work. Anyways what should i use to pop the dent out??
