Default hill VS tc, tc got KOed

Well, i had just installed a rear sway bar and a catback exhaust on my friends WRX and we took it out for a mountain run, i was in my TC and he was following.

Well most of the time i was looking in my mirrors to see what was happening with him and if i should speed up or slow down because he didn't want to run it hard with his new mods just yet. So all was well untill i forgot to prepare for a posted 10 MPH cornor, prolly was doing 40ish when i went into it and i looked in front of me and theres this big hill in the way. By the time i saw it it was too late. So anyways i prolly hit the embankment at around 10 MPH and broke alittle bit of my front fiber glass fender on the right hand side were the little fake brake intake duct is.

FYI the posted speed was 35 so i was not being a total dumba$$

I'm pretty sure i just want to replace it with an OEM part and make it look stock, nothing is bent or broken beside the fiber glass. Whats the best/cheapest place to buy one of these things painted and how hard is the install?

thanks for comments/post

ill post pics ASAP

At least nobody was injured.

Replacing the bumper cover is easy, just a few screws and clips.

Just make sure you pay attention to the road.
