I cracked my front bumber... best course of action?
So I was in a drive through today and foolishly miscalculated the distance between me and the big old truck in front of me. I just grazed his receiver hitch with my front bumper. The damage isn't horrible, but my local auto body shop just got done quoting me 371.50 to get it fixed. They determined that by 3.5 hrs paint lab @46/hr, 2.5 hrs body lab @46/hr plus 89.25 for paint materials. I will try to get a picture up later. The effected area is about the size of a quarter, the plastic cracked a bit showing the gray plastic inside. I doubt it would be noticeable from more than 20 ft away but as I'm sure you all understand, its going to bother me if not fixed. Whats my best course of action here guys? Does anyone have a good condition stock GT front fascia (bumper? I'm not sure the proper term) they want to sell? I have also been looking into using this mishap as on opportunity to upgrade to an aftermarket fascia but the cost is a little much for me to swing at this point. Does anyone sell prepainted front fascias? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks

about as cheap as it gets for a prepainted cover.

Can those of you that have aftermarket front fascias can you give me an idea of how much it cost to get painted? Also, where is the best place to buy the actual fascia. That new take off place has a good price, but after shipping its right back up to the same level the local auto body shop wants to repair it. Thanks
