i would say no.

sure you could pop that dent out, but check out the other side of the bumper.
it will never look perfect again

he just said it couldn't be repaired so you go and ask the same question again. buy it if you think it could be repaired, do not ask for opinions and then not even heed them. come on man.

For what you would pay the guy for the bumper, and then to pay to have a body shop repair that, which would be by just using bondo, you'd be better off buying from somewhere else. Search, I sure someone on here is selling a better looking JDM bumper.

I could probably be repaired, but would it be worth it to save money initially just to have to drop cash to have it repaired back to perfect? And, unless they have another type of filler, it will have to be ground down and filled in with bondo, which would break if you ever bump into something.

To buy it and repair it would cost more than you would pay for an undamaged one.

yeah, the bumper can be repaired, If the body shop that is doing it takes pride in there work.

Now for all those saying body shops only repair dents with bondo this is so wack. There are so many repair materials on the market to repair many different types of substrate the cars of today.

Even the slightest contact would cause it to crack and need to be repaired again.
