Front bumper options

So... I managed to gronch up my front bumper by hitting somebody in the rain the other night. About 5mph... enuff to twist it up and break the left turn signal lens.

I could:

1) Beat/bend it back in to shape

2) Replace it with another stock unit

3) Consider an upgrade

I'm not looking to spend a lot here, so I'm not looking to get a big ARB or something. Any thoughts on good places to find another stock piece, or some reasonably priced upgrade units?

Thanks.

-Steve

year and type of vehicle might help get better answers. But if budget is a concern Craigs or ebay. Also check classifieds on here and other yota sights for people upgrading to the ARB or other aftermarket.

I guess posting year and model would help... I sorta' figured that 3rd Gen bumpers would likely be interchangable....

It's '97 4Runner. Non-fat-lip bumper.

I'll have to try and snap a pic.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far. If anybody has any specific links for aftermarket units they like, I'd appreciate it.
