Then drive around with it like that until you have enough money. That is, if you would want a body kit.

Just take it to the shop and tell them you want a "recondition" bumper put on. They will locate it for you.
Refinish time for the frt bumper cover is 2.7 hrs. Just multiply that by the shops labor rate. If it's, say $60/ hr, then it will cost $162 to refinish it.
Labor for remove and replace is 2.2 hrs. Again multiply that by the labor rate.
Then add the part price of the bumper, plus tax.
Paint material, again depends on the shops rates.
Then you have to add Hazardous Waste Removal(usually 3 bucks), Flex Additive(5 bucks), and you have your cost.
Just look in your yellow pages and call each shop and ask them, what their labor rates are and go for one that is cheap. Write all the rates down, drive by the shop to see if you like the cleaniness and the professionalism of the place.
What is your deductible? Do you have comprehensive coverage?

In my area where the shops rates average about $65 for labor and 26 for paint materials, it came out to roughly $715 for replace and refinish of a recondition bumper, which I guesstimate it to be ~$200. GoodLuck.
