Default PLEASE HELP!! Mangled front bumper, what to do? Picture included

Hello friends, I was recently In an accident which left my front bumper severely damaged. I've been told I need to replace the reinforcement & shock absorber. I can get a used Lexus bumper for $260 but before spending I wanted to consult with you guys and find out what's the best method to go about fixing. I'm not trying to break the bank but desperately want to repair my poor GS. I was recommended going aftermarket or perhaps getting a replica body kit of some sort. Please share your thoughts & experiences with me
