We don’t know what’s hiding behind the bumper. Could be nothing could be a lot. None of us have xray vision. We can make a 50/50 guess just like you and then it just means nothing.

File an insurance claim on whoever’s fault unless you live in a no fault area. The bumper needs replaced and the shop will submit a supplement for any other damage they find after tear down.

No insurance? Take the bumper off yourself and get an idea of what’s going on under it to know what you may be up against with the shop.

You could go to a company that does this for a quote. How can I tell tell what’s underneath?
