as long as you're getting a new bumper, i think it's JCW AERO time!

[SIZE=3][FONT=Consolas]The dent in the steel doesn't look that bad at all, no sharp edges. See if you can have someone do paintless dent removal, maybe even at a local dealer. It will save a lot of time and the inevitable bad paint blend.[/FONT][/SIZE]

Try popping it. Take a heat gun, iron, or hair dryer and heat it up. Then push. If the paint doesn't crack you should be good unless its not good enough for you. Give it a try also let the insurance company know you got a dent to see what they can do for you.
