Straightening Chrome Bumper

Recently someone backed into my excursion in a parking lot and put a nice bend in my front bumper. It is really starting to bother me and I want to get it fixed. My question is, can it be fixed properly if I take it off and to a shop? How much do do so?

Depends on how bad it is bent. When you bend or dent metal, you are stretching it out of shape. If its minor and easy to get at, a good shop can massage the metal back into place and shrink it to original shape with no problem. Cant tell you a price because it is a skilled job and will depend on how long it takes to perform. Might want to look into getting one from a junkyard, probably will wind up being cheaper.
