Front end accident w/pics. Where can I get a bumper?

I need a bumper due to my careless driving today.The only thing that is damaged is the bumper. I buffed the headlight out already. I have taken off the bumper and buffed out most of the scratches and popped the dent back out and used touch-up paint to temporarily fix it, but as you guys can see, there is a huge crack in it. Does anyone have an extra bumper to sell to me or know where I can get a bumper? Thanks in advance.

if you want to get a new headlight housing, i take this one off your hands. just the housing, not the bulbs or ballasts.

I just got done putting the bumper back on in the cold and dark night. It was my fault. I took a left turn too fast with my bald tires(25mph) and I lost control and the rear swung out on me to the right and pointed me straight at the woman's driver's side rear door. I was going about 15mph when I hit her. She has a dent and scratches on her door. I am going to use this bumper until I can get some money to replace it.





I think it looks a lot better than from this afternoon. I stepped on the inside of the bumper to pop out the dents. I used 2000 grit sandpaper to remove the scratches. Then I used ScratchX afterwards to polish the bumper so it would shine again. Then I used an epoxy I have to glue the crack together again. The last step was touch-up paint. That X are band-aids that my girlfriend told me to put on the bumper for comical relief.

Damn... other than that yellow X from the tape, you did a pretty good job patching it up temporarily.

they don't make bumpers like they used to, lol, i used to tap people with my 87 camry, nice big dull black bumpers stupid young driving days someone hit my camry too in the bumper and i couldn't find where it got hit but the other persons bumper had some damage

anyway, fix it quick and move on so your max can look purty again, good luck

although, i kinda like the band aid look

They made very few of them. It is a lot cheaper than the other trim levels. I got mine used in January for 13k with 29k miles, which is cheap compared to similar year and mileage SE or GLE.
