Default Tweaked my bumper cover. Replacement?

Hi all, new to the forum. I'm just a few weeks into owning my Willys JK and unfortunately one of these crazy Houston drivers already got to me. Tweaked my bumper, see pic below.

Will either of these replacements fit?

People sell their stock bumpers pretty cheap when they upgrade. If I were you I'd search the various local internet marketplaces to find one.

Houston Craigslist should be dime a dozen....some possibly even free. If you like the stubby look, you could just cut the ends off and then buy the end caps to make a stubby. Actually doesn't look bad on the factory bumper IMO.

Yeah, too bad you didn't live in SE Michigan. I would have told you to come on over and I would have given you my stock Sahara bumper for free which is what you have but also includes the silver cover for the center section. I would have even thrown in a get a front for free, and get a rear for free if you wanted that as well deal.

I have been considered putting them up on Craigslist, but it isn't really worth my troubles.

Got it--thanks for the replies, everyone. I'll keep an eye out, on Craigslist and other markets.

Just in case--on the original question--will those replacements that I found fit? I'd imagine if they fit the 2007-2017, that a 2018 JK is no different.

They didn't change anything between 17 and 18 on the JK.

Heat gun and a few small holes drilled in the back and you can push that back into shape.
Easier and quicker then replacing the bumper.
