Backed into a light pole (( need help ))

The dealer wants to charge me:

$659 for the rear bumper
$212 for the passenger tail light

Is there an after market bumper I can get? What about a tail light?

Thanks

50 bucks + shipping and I'll send you the stock tail light housing (less the bulbs). Has only 12 miles on it (not that it really matters).

Oh and go to http://www.intensepower.com/ if you want to look at some aftermarket evo body stuff.
If i were to personally get an aftermarket rear, i would get the Ings +1 rear.

I think the whole kit is sexy as hell.

I saw someone selling there 05 tail lights for $100 earlier today. Not MR but will work and alot less expensive than OEM ones.

Then u can send them over to EVODave to get painted. My 2 cents.
