I got this JDM front bumper pretty much sight unseen for $60.

While I expected better, after the fact, I realize I did get some extra parts I will need such as the JDM fog mounting brackets. I will have to cut out the lower "grill" area as it is broken, but short of that and a little rust, I can make this work. A little hammering, a little sandpaper, a little resin, and who knows.

Maybe you could fix the bumper grille with a plastic welder?

Plastic welder. The ones I've seen look like a glue gun and use different thermoplastic sticks (depending on what type of plastic it is) as welding rod.
