if your gonna invest in one later, i would say cheap out on this one untill you get one.. no since in buying 2..
ideas for fixing it.. drill 2 small holes (1 on top of crack, one on bottom) and just put a small zip tie in between it, if its white, it shouldnt be too noticable.. either that or buy white duck tape.. you can also try taping it from the back too so its not noticable

I would brake down and spend the money for nice bumper.
I would not buy one from Honda of America, i bought a new rear bumper from Honad, not only did my rear OEM JDM CTR lip did not fit right but there was a sticker inside that said,
Made in mexico.
Just buy a used CTR white bumper with lip and grill, you could easily find one for $300.00.

What did you bump sir? I can't help but notice your lip is scared up on the same side as the crack. Evil parking blocks?
I'd rip off the bumper, and seal up the back half of the bumper for now. You'd still see a crack, but it woulnd't just be hanging.
