Bumpers- got a question

Okay my rear bumper is cracked (I was rear-ended at 2mph) and my front bumper was spider-webbed when i bought the car. The front has begun to flake and peel where the paint cracks are. They both look awful. I was wondering what I should do.

Should I have em repainted or should I find some clean used ones and just have someone spray over top of them? Are there any aftermarket bumpers that look cool? I've seen one (maybe daytona?) and it was nifty.

What should I do?

MIne was begining to spider as well. What I did was get some paintremover and strip it down as much as possible <i never did get to the original plastic> Then I got some flexable filler primer, sprayed, wetsanded and repainted, looks like new.

If i did the body work myself how much would they cost to get sprayed (assuming they're off of the vehicle- so no prep work needed)

If you get them painted, make sure the put flex agent in the paint so it wont spider web on you again.
