Default Front Bumper Replacement

Hello all, Does anyone know how much does it cost to replace the entire front bumper? I just busted my front bumper today after hitting a large piece of tire from a 18 wheeler truck.
Should I call my insurance company for this? I have to pay $500 deductible, so is it worth calling them?

This might be the time to get a aftermarket bumper or check the classifieds for a used one.

Is it fixable if some of the of the plastic support in the front center broke off?

A stock front bumper new from the dealer will be about $350 plus about $250 for paint.

Might as well get a new one, since it won't have any rock chips. Lol.

Actually I painted this front bumper like 3months ago and it's already has rock chips on it.

Wow $600 for a bumper? I guess not worth calling my insurance. I might buy some used one off ebay.
