Replacing Front Bumper Cover

Hey guys so I have a overall general question. So a little while back I got my Acura TL 2006 Anthercite metal and I just got my license and was learning to drive and someone ended up hitting the front of my car and destroying my cover. Since I lie the 07 and 08 fog light bumper cover so much I was wondering if they made those year model in the same color as my 07 or close I have a few people that are willing to see them but idk if there the right color combo don’t wanna add a different color in my car and be mix matched.

They don't make AM in 07/08 so you'll need to end up painting. The closest would be CGP but you don't see them too often.

It would be interesting to see a picture example of the 'minor imperfections', one could expect upon delivery, as a result of the folding for economic shipment before coughing up that $$$.

Or one could opt for the premium version preventing cracked and peeling paint for a $100 more.

That thing might be really thin or very flexible. I assume the minor imperfection is a crease down the middle of the bumper.
