Warped Front Evo 9 bumper fix..

Figured this would be the best place to ask if anyone here know where, local preferably, I could get my bumper fixed. Underneath the lower passenger side air inlet their is a slight warped section. Is their any companies out there that fix warped bumpers? Thank you guys!

Post up some pics. I imagine it would be hard to fix a warp in a bumper but all depends how bad it is I guess.

easily fixed with a heat gun and a wide clamp. slowly heat area until the plastic gets warm, place clamp over the area thats warped then slowly heat the whole area (within 6 inches of where it starts to droop). go very slowly and make sure to not heat too much around the clamp pad as it can leave an indentation. let it cool for an hour and take off clamp, you may have to do this a few times but it should go back to its original shape or close to it.
