Default need help

Ok the last snow storm i hit a concrete block that messed up my bumper. I need the bumper cover (colormatch with no chrome) and i think its called the absorber and the crossmember but im not sure and i dont want to go buy the wrong parts. Can anyone help me out??

You can get painted bumpers off of ebay for $245 shipped. Im looking at getting one for my truck, but Im still on the fence.

Behind the plastic facia, you have a bumper support (almost has the shape of the plastic bumper, but it is structurally sound) and then behind that you have the actual bumper impact that is attached to the frame. Pull of the old cover, and see whats damaged. If the big plastic piece is damaged, thats the bumper re-enforcment. If the metal piece between the 2 frame members is damaged, thats the actual absorber.

If you want, take some pics of the damage and I should be able to help you with part numbers if youre having trouble.
