Ok so some guy hit and run my car last night and I was wondering if I can fix this myself?
Here is a pic of the damage

Can you get a bigger close-up of the damage? I can't tell much from that pic. It looks fixable, but I can't really come up with a solution without seeing it closer and larger.
Um... yea you could. But if havent done any kind of body work in the past, then I wouldn't suggest it. That looks like a tear, and that too is fixable. A lot of guys do there own body work, but I don't know how good it turns out in the end, or if it lasts. I know there are some who can do a pretty nice job in there garages.

Basic point, you will probably get a professional and factory like finish if you take it to a professional.

With that tear it looks like it would be easier to just buy a new stocker and have it painted.
here is a closer-up pic and I'm not going to do it personally I have a friend that works in that kind of stuff but he's on vaca so I can't ask him yet so If it wasn't fixable I was just gonna go ahead and order a new one.:)

that is pretty bad..
use body filler to fix or epoxy..or whatever..
but letting bodyshop fix will cost a lot..

in my opinion, search ebay. there is lots of seller does sell new bumper with color coded. they are only $280 shipped and painted.
That tear in the plastic is pretty bad, no body shop would fix that. You'd be better off just replacing the bumper. If it wasn't torn so bad, or if it was just a deep gouge, you could smooth it down and fill it in with DuraGlass fiberglass filler and then topcoat with a regular plastic filler, the move on to paint, but it's pretty damn bad. Replace it.
i think at bumpers.com or something you can buy stock bumpers, body matched for like 169
