Question Rear bumper and diffuser

Hi,

I wanted to know what my best option of replacing my rear bumper and diffuser was.

A few weeks ago my dad decided to back up into a retaining wall by my driveway. The rear bumper has a 2 inch crack and is a bit depressed in on one side. The diffuser is not cracked but there is an indentation on it.

The damage to both is almost in the middle of the bumper. It bothers me seeing it that way and I want to Plasti Dip the entire car. However, I need to get this fixed and or replaced prior to dipping the car.

What do you guys suggest is the best cheapest way of going about repairing or replacing this? I went to a local bodyshop and he quoted me $1500...I will not be going that route for sure because I believe I can buy a new one for that price lol.

Also, if the price difference isn't that much I do not mind getting non oem bumper and diffuser because I would like to upgrade is possible. I have a 2013 2LT RS but love how the zl1 front looks as well as the back. Not sure if that will fit my car but would be awesome if the price is right!

Thanks guys!

Thanks, not sure if it will fit either =/ Just called the dealer and they have it in stock! Going to pick it up today.

Now just to find a bumper or maybe find someone that paints it for cheap. The dealer can get me one for 450 around but not painted.
