Like oledoc2u said above, having the front bumper cover repaired professionally & repainted will run you $200 to $300. Most body shops, worth their salt, will remove the bumper cover, repair it & then spray it in the paint booth. Then re-install it. Best way to get a more uniform covering that matches.

My rear bumper cover was repaired this way after it was damaged by some jerk who couldn't drive around in a parking lot at a nearby resort we stayed at one weekend. Scaped my left rear and broke the taillight. Cost me $350 for bumper repairs & re-paint (not including taillight, which I found on eBay).

Actually using the plastic push-in retainers or finishing plugs is a really great idea. These will mount nearly flush with the bumper and be hardly noticeable when painted the body color. They have tremendous grip and have to be practically destroyed to get them out. So make sure when you decide to install that you don't plan on taking them out again.

I bought a kit some years back that has all different types & sizes in it. They come in handy from time to time during various auto projects. You'll also find these in the HELP section of your local self-serve auto parts store.
