Thanks man I saw those this morning and will use them for backup, i would rather have an older used one so they match. I figure I find a used silver bumper extension and a pair of tail light covers and she'll be good as new.

. First time I have hit anything in my life and it was a doozy. Backing out of grocery store I smacked on of those low concrete protection poles, wouldn't be that mad but the body took a hit. Anyone have a drivers tail light or silver rear bumper section for sale?
Nows a great time to get the 06-09 led tail lights!

A hairdryer, a rubber mallet and other assorted tools along with some gasoline on a rag and an hour of your time could have the bumper "almost" back to normal.
I did this operation to my dads minivan years ago.

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market is your friend. You are probably looking at $500 if you do the work yourself can put up with the dent near the turn signal. Probably $750 if you want that fixed.
I had a pretty similar incident when I was rear ended a few months ago. It looks like yours is an 03-05 so the bumper cover is in 3 pieces. I got the side section for $75. If you are lucky enough to find one that is your color and in good shape, you can just bolt it on. I didn't get so lucky, and spent another $75 to get it painted. There is a bracket that the bumper clips into that you will probably have to replace that. You will need to get that from the dealer.
The body damage next to the light can be pushed out for the most part by a paintless dent repair guy, and most of them can do a decent job with touch ups. You are looking at about $250 for that work.
You are probably looking at about a $2K insurance claim if you go that route.

True that, i did the same on my ex's gallant. Heat gun and rubber mallet was all I needed
I had to get a new bumper after some asshat backed into my bumper 3 days after I bought it... :AK47:
