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).

Are the rear bumpers on this car really that expensive?

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.
