Act of Stupidity costed me $1400

To make a long story short, I got extremely screwed up the night before, and it started to rain. Well being as drunk as i was i couldnt screw the screw in. So i just laid the top in to place, and rolled the windows up. Well I got up the next morning tasting nothing but gold sholguer and hot damn. I had tottaly forgot about the night before. So i proceeded home when this cobra pulls up. It was primerd gray with the words "chevy killa" on the bumper.
He pulls up and gives me that long stare. I immediatley rev back. Light turns green. I pull him, at the top of first I hear this sucking sound and then i felt the wind going at 57mph. I slow down immediatley and flick on the hazards. He pulls up laughing his a$$ of and says "thats a chevy for ya!" And peels of. So I went to the dealership and found out that an oe replacment is $1400!!
I went on ebay to find a used one, and i did but the details are different. I'm worried that the bolts are goiong to be different.
Here is the item #524851075, and the other item # is #525702526. Which one will fit? please help!?!
Thanks

Could you be any more vague in your post?
I almost understood what you're asking.

One time I tried to take a corner ridiculously fast and its going to cost me $1200.

Big dent in the driver's side fender and door, cracked bumper cover as well.
