So my wife got hit by a woman driving and the insurance companies are battling out. My wife was stationary and this woman came around a corner and swiped our front bumper completely off also took off my headlight. Well its a 1000 deductible, I don't completely have it. My wives dad works on cars and can fix it if we find the parts. Where could I get a front aftermarket bumper? I'm in Texas.

I don't think there are many after market solutions. With the cost of a new bumper, paint work and headlight, you might be better off paying the deductible.

You're going to be looking at well over $1000 in parts alone.

Some of the more obvious parts you need:
Front bar $582
Energy Absorber (behind bar) $172
Upper Grille $499
Lower Grille $36
Headlight $457

There is also the front under tray, all sort of clips, you might have metal brackets bent, everything will need painting etc.

I'd be paying the excess and claiming.
