Any cracks, dents ? bumper knocked out of place ?
Basically, are you sure it is so bad that it needs to be replacced ? (cost = $400 ~ $500)
I got rearended 6 months after I got my TSX
- fine scratches and couple tiny holes (you can tell the license frame outline of the car that hit me 
)
But I decided to live with a little "imperfection" and pocketed the insurance money thinking it might happen again.....it did. (relative bumped into rear in driveway)

Check eBay once a week.
I was looking for a front bumper (busted mine in fenderbender). Nothing on eBay for nearly 2 week.
So then I said "fxck it" and just let body shop order from dealer.
The 2nd day my car was in the shop, this eBay item was posted.
I offered the fucking n00b idiot $150, he refused. Look what he got.
2)
Google for your local salvage yards
They all know each other so when you call one you can ask the person if he know another one etc.

Crap, why couldn't have this thread been like 3 days earlier =( I was just checking Ebay for an 04 front bumper last night. I wanted to see about trying it on my 06 before spending 1100 + paint and shipping on an 04 mugen front bumper. Sigh.
