Front bumper recommendations

I'm fishing for input, please. Today I removed this POS front license plate bracket.




to reveal this (fully suspected) damage to the front bumper (I didn't do this).





Does anyone have any suggestions for how to repair or mod or cover with something that doesn't look like the first picture.

It is still a GREAT car!!!!



Thanks.

I'd also be interested in a good source for front bumper covers. This has been on my list for a while and I don't feel like paying stealership prices for something I'll probably have to replace again down the road.

this is my bumper in the process of being worked on. as you can see from my sig, it came out perfect but yea they fiberglassed where it was cracked underneath and used apoxy for where the license plate holder frame was. i basically had a new front bumper and it's still perfect.
