  • Sorry to hear about your car,But glad you are ok.I used to work at a body shop until being laid off a few months ago.Call local junk yards and see if they have a used Bumper for you car,they are very affordable.Then you could have your local body shop paint it,They will give you a free estiment.
  • Call the local Toyota Collision Center and ask to speak with an appraiser. He can provide you with a few local sources for rebuilt bumper covers or used ones. I do not suggest aftermarket, poor fitment.
  • don't panic. just go to your local salvage yard (yes, 'junk' yard) & get the one for your make & model. you'd be surprised to know that cars drop dead with engine problems and PERFECT bumpers and are simply junked with a fortune in good body parts. good luck.... Reference:been there, done that
  • Try calling around to the junk yards in your area. Then just wait until you have to money to have it painted, or buy a can of spray paint (the right stuff for a car!) and do it yourself.
