People have to know their limitations. Then their cars limitations. If either of these are not known or exceeded then what happens is a hurt tree.
Car parts on EBAY.

Accidents happen. I did the very same thing about 2 months ago. I hit black ice at about 10 miles an hour, nothing I could do but watch. Sure, maybe I'm some ignorant kid. Anyways, I just checked out ebay, craigslist, etc. and ended up replacing my bumper, buying a new hood and getting it painted for a total of 450.

Sorry to hear that.

What price range are you looking to spend on the front bumper? That will help folks point you in the right direction.

To just buy the bumper? Is just the bumper damaged? You can find an aftermarket bumper for 300, but it'll be unpainted. Figure about another 300 or so for painting and a half way reputable shop. If you're in no hurry, keep your eyes peeled for a bumper already painted your cars color. You can save a fortune.

The Roush front bumper is awesome but will cost around 450

i almost had a honda for breakfast this morning turning into school. going under 5 and lightly tapping the break (No ABS in the ('94s)i slowed way down (like i said 4 or 5) and began to turn easily foot off the brake and the frigger slid. so i breaked and brought the back into a easy slide and minuvered it into a snow bank and it stopped before it got there... anyway i just ended up being pissed off that such a thing happened and just backed up and went in. i've learned not to fool around. in erly december, when we had some hard pack on the road in town that leads to school, i was drifting the back end back and forth and the next thing i know in too far sideways and boof! about 25 MPh up onto a snowbank and the sub box smashed me in the back of the head. i put it in reverse and got the front end down and left. i demolished a 7 foot snowbank but the car was safe.Thats when i drove like an ignerante teen but still. like i said erlier, even when you think you have it all down sh!t can still happen.
