cost effective rear bumper upgrade?

So im an awesome driver and hit a cherry picker's skid steer tire. it pushed in my bumper enough for the bumper beam to slice through the bumper plastic. i was looking at after market Japanese bumpers. and their really expensive. any state side alternatives? I hate just fixing things, i'd rather upgrade broken things. makes me feel like i did something with my money.

will post pics later..its really not that bad but..probably need a new bumper anyway

The most cost effective JDM solution is the OEM bumper. They aren't terribly expensive, but you'll have issues with the bumper beam - it's non-existent on the JDM car.

There's not much you can do in terms of US-sourced bumper replacement, though, you could dress up the stock one a little. TRF diffuser? Ravspec's original diffuser? JDM vent/garnish where our reflectors are? Those are just a few cost effective possibilities to "upgrade" a stock bumper.
