Angry 05 WRX Rear bumper replacement?

Okay, last December I skidded into a snow bank and ripped a huge gash in my rear bumper where the right wheel well meets up and it has to be replaced. I tried to JB weld it today for a temp fix, but that didn't work. Is there anywhere besides Subaru parts that I can get one for cheaper? The only oem bumpers I can find online are for the STi which I dunno if they would fit or not plus they would need the fender flares to look good. But anyways, if you guys could help me out I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Justin

An OEM bumper is only available from Subaru, and they only come unpainted. The part isn't all that expensive, should be under $200 but you have to add the cost of painting. You should also get it locally because it's an oversize item and therefore pricey to ship.
It's also possible that a body shop could repair your existing bumper but in the end the cost could be a wash due to the added labor, and the result might not be as good as you'd like.

When I replaced my rear bumper skin a few years back, it cost me about $160ish IIRC, and was like $50 to paint.

Well it's definite that I need to replace it because the rip is just huge. About 10 inches in length and just looks awful. The good part about it, is it's down so low, that your really have to look for it to notice it. But anyways, going to Subaru was my next option. I didn't realize it would be that cheap. I'll just get the STi bumper and rear fender flares, then have a buddy on base hook me up with a paint job. Might as well go all out.
