To repaint the front bumper properly it would have to be removed first. Figure around $350-$500 for a quality job from a reputable paint shop. Materials is around $100.00. Labor to R&R the bumper. Plus color sanding and buffing. Stay away from any shop that will paint the bumper while on the car. It will reduce the value of you car quick. Also ensure that they strip the bumper completely before painting. This is important and many shops ignore this and the customer ends of with a bumper that does not resist bumps/chips as it should. This is why I paint everything myself. Got tired of dealing with the 95% of painters out there that rush the job.
Emblems are $$$$ from the dealer. Check Carsons website for a set. Ebay has them as well however some have had bad luck with the wrong size emblems. Mine came in the right size and are great but I many be the minority in this.

Hope that helps.
