any suggestions?

So I just installed a tsudo catback on my 09 cobalt. Original exhaust hangers were too short and the exhaust tip was right on the bumper. I drove to autozone, 15 minutes away, to get longer hangers because I figured it would be okay for that long. Unfortunately it wasn't. I've got the new hangers on now but my bumper is melted and looks like ****. Other than replacing the bumper, anything I could do? Thanks guys

Lesson learned. It happens. Don't think there a best way to fix it besides maybe some yellow touchup paint. What's melted is melted.

That's what it looked like until I got the longer hangers. Hence the melted bumper lol
