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.

Do a search and you should be able to find a paintable bumper combo
