Fix bumper or new bumper or not?

I have the 45th anniv V6 RS (back up sensors) in bumper. Someone was kind enough to back into me and do minor damage. There is some wavy / bubbling like area by rear reflector, and two spots where it looks like their top/bottom plate screws pushed into plastic.

Anyway, I'm just looking for opinion since it's a 45th should I just fix current bumper, get replacement, or use this as a chance to get a rear body kit? Would I lose value making it less stock?

My guess is a rear kit bumper could look good, prob costs same as new or refinished OEM, but at this time I don't want to redo the whole car. Would it look odd with just rear bumper non stock?

Post some pictures on here so we can see the damage.

It depends on what you plan to do in the future. Are you going to sell your car in a couple of years or do you plan to keep it for a very long time? If you're going to keep it for a long time, might as well make it look really nice. If not, just repair it.
