hey guys this happened a while ago, but i was just wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost to get this patched up?

Probably around $400-$500 at a body shop.
I would contact member: Camaro2you
He does really nice body work @ home and can save ya some cash.
So long as that section is not cracked it looks like an easy fix. Perhaps something you may want to tackle on your own w 20-30 dollars of material. That section of the bumper is flat black if I remember correctly. If you mask both sides nicely (you'll want to do both sides for a clean matched look) and protect the surrounding areas you can prep with a grey scuff pad or even wet sand with 1000 grit paper. Then follow up with 2-3 coats of a flat bumper paint. SEM and 3M both make aerosol versions. We would charge 200.00 for labor and materials on a detail project like that.
If it is cracked then the best repair is to remove the bumper cover, repair and respray. A 400.00 job w/ materials.
Hope that helps

I agree with John....however it's hard to tell in the pic...does the chipped paint extend down into the gloss black portion of the car? If not and it isn't cracked then I agree....you're in the $300-$400 range probably. We could also do the repair here if you need.
