Front Bumpers

I'm Looking to replace my front bumper on my 1995 Trans Am, used is definitely an option, but does anyone know where to go for new? I used to see them on Ebay all the time, but I guess all thats left is Year One & that sort? I was searching on Hawks Third Gen, and they want nearly $600 for a new bumper, I think they are high.

Do a 98-02 Formula nose conversion instead.

Or if he'd ship

I'm noticing a lot of the used ones have that typical GM paint crackling, I'm sure this is common on a lot of cars from that era.

On my bumper in particular, the plastic is warped on the passenger side where it means the fender. I don't think its repairable.

I'd get opinions from local body shops. Some damage can be heated and reformed. The spider cracks can be sanded down and should stay away for a long time.

Well I contacted a few bumpers I found on Craigslist with no luck, everyone has cracks, won't ship, or get this "Not enough time to take a picture"

Here's what's up with my current bumper:
