Unhappy The Telephone Pole WON

Not quite sure if I'm posting this in the correct area but I needed to vent & ask a couple of questions....

So today I'm backing out of a friends drive way and totally hit the telephone pole at the corner of his driveway. The damage isn't too bad, luckily I have tailight guards that held up very well but the entire tailight fell out, the passanger rear corner is badly dented & the bumper is pretty banged up.

So here are my questions...

1. Does any one have the Warrior Diamond plate corners in black poweder coat???? & if so can you please post pics!?!?!?!?

2. Can someone please post a link to the rear bumper comparison I've seen before??? I did a search with no luck.... & I'm thinking I may go with a rear tire swing bumper since I'll be paying the deductible anyway...

3. Anyone have any idea how much a factory rear bumper runs???


Thanks in advance for your help....

Not sure if this is the thread you were referring to. I made the post forever ago when looking myself

Those corners look really nice! If i get enough $$$$ I think I may go "old school" with some diamond plate corners, but in black powdercoat....
