Damaged Front Bumper Need Advise!!

I was driving on the highway and one of a semi's tires blew. I was following too closely behind the car in front of me and didn't see the tire piece until the car ahead of me swerved at the last second to miss it. I wasn't lucky enough to avoid it completely and the damn thing tore off the right half of the my bumper. More specifically it was the right front lip.

I regret not pulling over to check the damage right away. At impact, it didn't feel like the tire scrap hit me very hard so I kept going, hoping it would be okay. I have shitty liability insurance, and I didn't take down the plates of the semi.

I was hoping I could get some advice from you guys on a cheap way to get my front bumper replaced. You guys have any idea what they would charge me to fix it at a Mazda dealership? (I'm going to call tomorrow, but am curious if anyone knows off hand) I have a 2004 GT model. Thanks.

Best bet is to buy another bumper and have it painted or go aftermarket.
Some ******** put hair line cracks in my bumper so i was thinking about getting a new one too.....

I know some dude on ebay is selling painted ones.....

EDIT:
Found it
