Default I backed into my GF car, but i'm blaming her. Should i get replacement bumper?

So long story short, I backed my Nismo into my girlfriends car. She parked really close behind me and Ive been backing out of my driveway the same way for 3 yrs and didnt even think about it. Now I need a whole new rear bumper. Im pissed, never done anything like this before. My question though is where can I get one for relatively cheap. And what do you guys think about just getting a different rear bumper besides the original Nismo one. I would like to keep the car completely original, but some of those rear bumpers look pretty sick. Any input would be great.

Thanks

No such thing as a cheap Nismo rear bumper.

You can look around on CL and used parts suppliers but they might be hard to find.
