Ouch!
I believe you can purchase the new bumper cover from the dealer for around $400.00 but you will have to paint it. If you have the appearance package and you need to replace the air dam about $360.00 however, it comes already painted. If your car was V/red I have a front bumper appearance package I could sell you.

I had my car backed into. The quote I got for the repair was $1800. My damage was really minor but they told be to fix these plastic bumpers is a pain and labor cost would be high, almost as much as a new one, so they'd rather just replace the whole front bumper. The factory front bumper would cost $500 unpainted. Majority of the cost was paint and labor. Labor cost may vary since I live in California and we seem to pay more for everything. But the painting is going to cost you about the same because we have a three stage paint on our cars. It's expensive and hard to get the mica flake in the paint to blend right with the rest of the car. I ended up taking the insurance money and getting a MS front bumper since it is a bolt on (DIY) and comes factory painted to match you car.
