Cool Need a new rear bumper.

I nailed a street lamp the other day. Not once, but twice trying to back out of a parking spot. It was to tight to turn out so I figured I would just jump the curb behind me and then pull out. Well, after just glancing it the first time I tried to slowly roll over the curb, I spun the hell out of the tire and slammned into it. I came to two conclusions after that, don't drive after two lage jars of sake, and two my tint on the back window is too dark.

Well, I bent it pretty good and dented the hell out of it. After trying to find a black bumper in the salvage yard that was not chrome I found some black ones on some sport model 2nd gens. I know the front bumpers wont line up easily, but will the rears? I don't wanna pay for something I cant use.

The one I have was powder coated, and the one I know of on a sport model is the same way.

I did not feel I the first time, I only glanced it the first time the same time I hit the curb. In fact I did not even know I hit it until the people that I ate with told me after we got back home, they were in a different car.

It was only the bumper, and if it did not put a baseball sized dent in it I could have just un-bent it.

Also, after I hit it, I stopped driving and let my friend drive my truck home, I cant afford a DUI in California.
