I bought the car like that and was hoping it was an easy fix. It looks like a shopping cart has hit it. From the other side it's just pushed out. I don't see anything broke

What happens when you push it in? it looks like plastic piece.

Usually bumpers are bolted on some how with either a brace or plastic pushtabby pieces.

Sorry I don't have a malibu to compare..

But you should get underneath and look at the other side of the vehicle.

When I push it in it pushes back out. It has 3 push tabs to hold it together they're in good shape but I don't understand how the bumper has bowed out
