Default what is the best thing to do for a new front bumper and spoiler?

ok, so my front bumper looks like crap.. paint is coming off.. some of the screw holes have been ripped off, and on the passenger side.. it doesnt even line up with the fender anymore.. you can take the bumper an shake it a full 3 inches up or down..

i would like to get a stock one if possible but i dont want to spend a ton on an a new oem one.. what are the best options? a junkyard? maybe finding an aftermarket one that is close to stock look?

if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Junk yard. Super cheap.

Get the front bumper off an xB that was rear ended.

Get the rear bumper off an xB that was a front end collision.

Maybe you'll find a T-Boned xB and you'll get both bumpers from just one.

Who knows. You won't know until you go check it out.

If you don't live in a city big enough to have a junk yard with newer cars, just google the part you need. There are a lot of big used parts dealers online that interface well with google. You can get about anything you need. It will cost more than if you can find it at a local yard, but you will also have more choices (for example, you might be able to get the same color) and you can compare prices and even negotiate over the phone. The best prices will be at a local yard where you pull your own part. The cool thing there is that if you get to the trashed scion before others do, you might find something else you need or will need in the future. An example might be something like a cruise control that mine didn't come with but it will work with mine if it is 1st gen.
