Chrome rear bumper got dented, replacement?

Somone backed into my chrome rear bumper on my 97 4Runner. The dents aren't bad, but they are dents and I don't like them. : )

Has another ever tried the "aftermarket chrome bumpers"? I need the middle piece and right rear. Wondering how they would match up???

Ideas?

i just bought a new front bumper, headlights, grille, etc. that were all aftermarket and while they look similar, its never perfect.

If you go the aftermarket way, I would just buy all three pieces from the same place..

I bought my rear bumper corner peice from auto parts wholesale on ebay. Just type in your key-words and they'll pop up. Its really cheap, I didn't notice THAT much difference in OEM. Quality ain't as great, but, I think its stupid to be paying $500+ for a tin foil bumper anyways.

That would be me

Shipping to PA would kill ya tho, simply because of how large and long the center piece is. UPS and other shipping companies charge by dimensional weight on anything over a certain size, and a rear bumper is way over size.
