Default Front Bumper Replacement

Today someone with a nice truck has put a hole in my front bumper so it needs to be replaced. I checked with Rydell and the price for the new bumper is $836.77 is there anywhere else I can buy the bumper cheaper?

ThanX.

The hole is the square of the hitch. I don’t want to do that to a new car. I took it to a body shop and they looked at it there is more damage than meets the eye. They quoted me $3800 so it looks like it would be better to make this an insurance claim.

Sounds a littel to much, probably they will have to replace the foam reinforcement but still, New bumper $700 (+-), reinforcement $250 and the rest for the paint and installation??

Both headlights are scratched and the one on the pasenger side looks like it has small cracks in the clear plastic cover.
