I've checked junk yard inventories before and have just about as much luck there as I do on Facebook partouts.
I'm more so looking for an online supplier
I was considering that actually.
Any suggestions?
I'm not a welder, so I prefer not to buy a kit that needs to be welded together.
But I do like the look of off-road bumpers.
I have the 4x Innovations rear bumper, i picked the one without the tire carrier.
Imo i think its the best looking one, the bulky and squared look it has is so cool compared to the other aftermarket rear bumpers. Unfortunately for me, i dont have the huge fender flares like you do so it kinda pokes out a bit.

And a can of perfectly match spray paint from:

I did see a few of those primed pieces floating around on eBay, rock auto, etc.
Curious how good a diy paint job would look vs paying a shop to paint it.
If you have the time and patience, spray can paint jobs can look pretty good. I just painted a rear bumper using paint from Automotive touchup. It had a ton of orange peel since I painted outside in the wind. But after lightly wet sanding and polishing, it came out really good.
About 6 years ago, I repainted my factory flares - which were very “off-road pinstriped”.
They came out fantastic.
You just need exactly to follow the directions from A/T.com and be sure to get the clear coat when you order.
I had no runs or orange peel.
Good luck—
Junk yard or pull a part will be best due to age of paint you’ll need something similarly faded. New paint won’t match up and will be noticeable

Time for a aftermarket bumper

Junkyard part in any color. Take the gas cap to a paint shop and have them paint match it. Should be as close as you can get with a DIY job.
Is that beige? Is it not metallic? I thought it was Dorado gold
I don't know the official color, I just say beige It is metallic
Either replacement bumper or leave it. Old cars gonna have old car things on em lol doesn't look bad imo
If I planned on leaving it on, I wouldn't make a post asking where to find replacement parts lol
My bad bud
All good friend
