If your in a major metro area, this is easily repairable by going to the junkyard. Find a autobody shop to paint it up.

Within 200 radius of my major metro area there was one (!) front bumper available at a junk yard, at $1000 price and in a wrong color.
For comparison, new aftermarket bumper painted in your choice color code is $600 shipped.

Nothing unusual. Got distracted, saw the car in front too late to make a complete stop. But I was braking hard and the front of the car got lowered by an inch or two. That and also that the car in front of me was an SUV with a fairly high bumper to begin with. As a result the bumpers got completely misaligned. His bumper damaged my headlight, hood, radiators, intake pipe, etc and my bumper took out his exhaust. On a bright side, no frame damage and no airbag deployment.

Thats the difference between aftermarket and OEM. Its the fitment.

Is that price just for the OEM bumper cover only or everything with it? Thats seems steep IMO. Its cheaper in my area

OEM bumper cover is inexpensive, unpainted. $315.

I didn’t check the other OEM parts you might need , but wouldn’t be surprised if they were reasonable $.

maybe so on that site, with some diligent searching, you might find an another online dealer that’s closer, many dealers operate an online parts website as well. Possibly you could even pick it up.
Put a little effort into solving your problem , just don’t shoot down people that are trying to help.

I am not in the market for getting a car replacement part, but am wondering where you would order a car body part that also paints the part and ships it....?

I used a website aptly named http://paintedautobodyparts.com . There are many other sites that would send you a painted bumper but this was the only one I found that would ship a painted hood.
