The damage to mine was to the front end, so I found a donor car for $500, the body shop swapped the front end, etc and I actually came out about $1,000 to the good and that including having the whole car repainted at the same time.

This sounds like the way to go for me. I would rather you save the car even if it means I don't get the bumper.

If you do decide to part it out, PM me with the price of the bumper and your location.

Best of luck!
