Default Rear Bumper

I have a 2003 accord 2-door and the rear bumper has a rip in it, can a body shop repair or must the bumper cover be replaced, Thanks

if the body shop knows what they are doing it can be done but most would say replace it because they dont want to mess with it but it can be fixed.

Depends on how it's ripped. At some point, the cost of repair (labor) will make it worthwhile to get a new bumper skin. An honest body shop will tell you if you're better off replacing vs. fixing.

Might save money if you install it yourself, then go to a body shop for paint.
