I just backed into a friends car!!! AHH, i need a cheap OEM rear bumper, any help?

As the title says, im a dumb @SS and i backed into a friends 88 chevy cavalier... So angry right now, my bumper looks like i kicked the bottom left corner in real hard with my foot. Minor scratches but the thing is like smushed... It looks as if it would pop out but things never work out... I have a body shop that can do the work but i was wondering if there was any places to get OEM Rear Bumper covers for cheap? Thanks guys!!!! you can each hit me once for my act of stupidity... lol **** happens oh well...

Cheap and OEM words dont go together...

I had to replace my front bumper and it costed 680$ total (paintjob and also bumper). The bumper was bought from infiniti. The only option you have is buying an OEM bumper from ebay... other than that, go aftermarcket or buy from Infiniti (if you buy ONLINE you will get owned on the shipping so better just go to your local infiniti and get it).

Oh, im sorry to make things worst for you, but the first thing you will be told (if you havent already) is that "The paint MIGHT not match 100% to the metal as color on plastic differs." Unfortunatelly, there is no way to order the Stock paint from Infiniti, paint shops have to make the paint themselves... BMW and MERC do have their own paint, I hope Infiniti takes a hint and offers paint someday too.

Sorry to here bout your dilemma, thought of checking Salvage yards.
Maybe you can find one there? or Ask ppl on this forum if they still have their OEM bumper... ppl that put aftermarket ones on

getting it done "cheap" and getting it done "right" almost never go together. You drive a ~$37,000 car... don't go cheap now. The car deserves the best.

Oof.. Chuck... that hurts. I hope you get a bumper for cheap.. it's the paintjob that usually skyrockets the price. Good luck bro.

Oh and KOJ: You don't have a G anymore.. but I can see you still have the love

Hey, well i just got back from A-Z custom colour, my buddies body shop in mt. sinia and he was able to push the dents i had out, to make it look about 99 percent better than what it did... Some solvent he had was able to take all the paint smudges off of it too. He got the bumper back to its original form but there's still a small ding in the bumper, along with a few marks from where he pushed the tool against the bumper to get the dent out. It looks much better than it did for now ill take it...
The cover will most definatly need to be replaced and im in the looking for a body shop now... Im going on vacation june 2-june 8th so i'm hoping to do it than, ATLANTIC INFINITI i threw you guys a PM... I am def. interested in getting an estimate for the rear bumper as well as my front end being resprayed due to a very large amount of chips from you guys or whomever you use... This is all gonna work out for the better now, im just happy i dont have to drive around with this huge dent... ill take a pic or two and show you all... the bumper def came right back into shape tho, i was shocked...

Changing rear and front bumpers? Im guessing you dont like any bodykits huh? There is no body kit I like more than the fron bumpre stock no aero in the G, but the rear bumper... I think I like kenstyle more.
