Anyone know what a rear bumper goes for?

That panel has the worst of it but even still it's tough to notice. Luckily the trunk area is unharmed and all of the damage seems to be on bumper only. I just don't know how difficult of a replacement that would be, if it's a viable option.

Here are some pics I took over lunch. It's a bit wet outside so it further blends the dent, but you can see the arch I'm talking about. Sorry for the sideways pics.

from your first post it sounded like you really damaged your rear bumper, but it doesnt seem that bad call or take it into a body shop and get a quote it shouldnt be that bad.

and dont listen to the gf, get it fixed.

I know, I was totally surprised by the lack of damage; I thought for sure she messed it up. I guess the large rear end absorbed most of the impact. The van it hit surprisingly also had minimal damage. I'm thinking it's not fixable though, even as minor as it is. They'll probably replace the whole bumper. It feels plastic, so I'm assuming it's just a replaceable cover, but I could be incredibly wrong about that. If anyone knows otherwise, your input would be much appreciated.
