Default New bumper

I bought my high school son a very nice 2005 Civic EX coupe, looks brand new. A week into it, he slides into a snowbank and cracks the front bumper. I would like to replace it but not at the cost of bringing it to a dealer. I see a place online called D&H that will sell me a new bumper, and if I give them the VIN, will paint it the right color. Seems like a decent deal to me. Does that sound like a good way to go, or does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks.

well how much are they trying to charge you for it?
because you can just find what color the car is and order the same color spray can.
and paint the new bumper yourself.

maybe that will come out cheaper?

About $150 to paint it. That's OK with me, I really don't want to mess with the painting myself, and I want it to look as good as possible.
