Default '04 Bumper cracked and more

I've cracked my 04 lower bumper cover hitting a rather large raccoon. I've see others have replaced their's with an SRT6's I noticed a site theonlinebodyshop offers a painted (matched) OEM for $499, anyone know of them?

I also have a second problem I've checked the fine collection of docs that MMZ_TimeLord put together and parts.com website but unable to find another part that is broken, it's a splash guard of sometype that sits between the bumper and the radiator. On the part it has a MB emblem with " 170 505 07 03" also has a White sticker with 432260. I assume the 432260 is the part #. and the 170# is the mold number.
Any one know if I'm correct?

The 170 number should be the MB part number.

As far as the bumper goes, the big thing to consider is fading...

If your car is dark or sits in the sun a lot (depnding on age) the brand new paint on the new bumber will not match your car, this is why it is always better to have a good bodyshop do the work with the car there so they can fade color correctly. You may end up saving some loot but the colors will not match, this is just my opinion and there are probably others out there....

My car is black and I had a lady mess up my back bumper. I got a new one and they matched the paint perfectly. You can't even tell. I think they are the best bodyshop in town.... which is why I went there in the first place. I was there twice and both times they had a Bentley and Ferrari in the back. They even had an old Porsche from Mexico... some rich guy in Mexico drove his car up just to have them work on it. The paint can match if you have the right guy spray it.
