Any suggestions on ordering rear bumper online?

There is a crack in my rear bumper on the top part of it, looks like a shopping cart hit it and caused it to crack the top or something.

either way, gotta get a new bumper. Its small but drives me crazy and the paint will slowly chip away.

any good places online to order one with color matched paint?

Check the AZine vendor list:

Think you'll have to get it painted yourself, not sure.

Is the plastic cracked or is it just the paint that's cracked or gouged? Maybe it's repairable?

The cost of shipping might negate ordering online.

The only way to properly color match the rear bumper is to compare paint chips & variants to the quarter panels. This means it can only be done in person with the car, not online. Sometimes even the best variant needs manual adjustment to the tints when mixing.

If you have NBP black you can get away with it, since it is so easy to match. Any other color your just throwing the dice.

I just got a spoiler off ebay, and its a perfect match. all I had to do was give them the paint code. I was quite shocked it matched so damn good.

take it to a shop and see if they can refinish the rear cover at a decent cost. It'd be much better and you'd have OE parts on your car.
