Check with your local body shop. There are companies that take original OEM Ford bumpers and dip them to fill all the imperfections from thrown rocks and other road rash. They are called "reconditioned" bumpers.

i looked at some aftermarket bumpers... they were all cheap junk , so i bought a cervini's and am totaly happy. if you want to go cheap buy a cheap bumper but you get what you pay for.. some people dont realize the difference between a good bumper and some cheap made in china trash.
