A ghastly sight...

A ghastly sight...
First, I own a 2003.5 Sedan. Rewind to last year, I had just moved, and got into an accident a couple months after moving. Now because I hadn't received all of my mail because of the move, I let my insurance lapse (lesson 1). My fault, but still annoying. Guy hit me on the side, but because the way the lanes work out on that road police report deemed me at fault, fought it to no avail. Body shop says $7k to fix, which I didn't have.
"Friend" of mine at work who fixes cars out of his own garage says he can do it for $3k, which I have available. 4 months later, a lot of "I'm waiting on this part... blah blah blah" and I get the car back with the bumper sitting in the backseat. Take it to another garage and they attach the bumper after telling me it didn't fit at all. Hurray, but I have car back at least.
So here's my question, what's the cheapest way to fix this? Local highly-rated body-shop told me it'd be about $1100 to get a new bumper ordered, painted, installed. There's gotta be a cheaper way right? Because this is how my car looks now:
