Rear ended - need new rear bumper cover
Got rear ended in a parking lot at the UPS store about 30 minutes ago. Cover is scratched and torn so it needs to be replaced.
A stock style replacement is 300 bucks from eBay and or Amazon
Any cool aftermarket ones that aren't a total PITA to try and make fit? I am willing to spend a bit more to make it look nice.

While there are aftermarket bumper covers, they won't be as durable (or fit as well) as the OEM one made of factory-grade urethane. Be sure to check the aluminum beam reinforcement and steel bumper brackets for damage before you put everything back together. No matter whether this repair will be an insurance repair, or a DIY deal, make sure you fix it right.
Take a look on www.car-part.com for an original colour one, then you’ll avoid paying for paintwork, and it will probably match.

Agree with Heel about the Chargespeed. It’s subtle and clean. Probably the only aftermarket rear bumper that can be integrated with otherwise stock bodywor without affecting the aesthetic balance.

But ya, ridiculous for a “subject-to-damage” piece. i think I’ve seen reps on EBay. Also, Shine Auto has a few you might look at. Not sure where they’re from and may be difficult to get during the Covidicus Era but they seem to have a good rep (from posts here, no personal experience).
