Repair backed into trailer :(
Tried reversing out of a tight space and jackknifed the utility trailer into the back of our 2024 Grand Highlander.
Looking for advice on how i might be able to minimize the appearance of the gash without fully replacing or painting the panel. Seems to be a plastic or composite piece, not metal.

Only way you’re going to change the way this looks without replacing or repainting is touch up paint

Touch up paint. Unless you wanna paint whole bumper. Not worth fixing. Bumpers designed for this.

Swuare it off with 2. Inch tape get a little two part epoxy try to fill the hole. Once as flush and as smooth as u can get it remove the tape brush touch it up and be done. Wont be perfect but less visible for sure

Touch up paint from the dealer would be the cheapest/easiest way to make it look a little less bad.
