Default I cracked the front of my bumper

So i have a 2001 camaro z28 and when i was driving to work a piece of plastic fell off the car in front of me . I couldn't stop or swerve to avoid it because of the people around me. I was wondering is there anyway a body shop could fix it? It is around 3 inches long.

here is a pic

I think it would be cheaper to find a used bumper. Try plastic welding the backside then just touch it up. It'll look decent.

Here at work my body men use SEM Problem Plastic Part No. #39767 for a small repair like that. But you may be better off looking for a decent used front bumper and getting it painted.

how do you remove the front bumper? I've got a 94', but it should be similar, on how its mounted.
