Default How much would a new front bumper cost?

Some jerk with a trailer hitch backed into me when i was parallel parked (will never do that again) and now I have a nasty gash thru the paint surface. It wouldn't be super noticeable except for the fact that my Classic Silver contrasts heavily with the black base on the bumper.

What should I do? I'm worried that a patch-work paiting will look shotty but repainting the entire fender would get kinda expensive, no?

Are stock bumpers significantly cheaper than a new ground effects kit?

What about just getting the whole bumper repainted? It's fiberglass isn't it, can they do that easily?

Im sure its plastic not fiberglass I would think you could get a bumper painted for about 2 hundred something dollars if you called around

It's EXTREMELY flexible. I figured it was just plastic.

If I get a kit I really just want something low key for right now, you know... something that wouldn't look out of place with the rest of my stock parts.

How much would it cost to paint the new kit professionally? Do they match the paint EXACTLY?
