    Well, I backed into a pole (came outta nowhere! Lol) and wonder what the best method to fix would be.

    It didn’t do a ton of damage but trying to figure out the best method to pull the end cap and metal support bracket back “out”.

    What do y’all suggest??

    Had something very similar after a kid drove up in my driveway and hit mine with a go cart. It was easier to just buy new cover and was able to straighten the bracket by bolting it back on and a little pulling

    I feel like the bumper cover is salvageable… it’s more so the bracket that’s bent.
    you think removing the end cap and trying to straighten the bracket would be the best approach?

    Bingo. Not hard to remove the rear bumper at all.

    Besides Toyota touch-up paint, no. You could also opt for some Bumper Shellz
