I agree with ernie9944. As long as they were not bent before the collision it is their responsibility to return the car to its previous condition.
I do not have first-hand knowledge, sorry. I dont doubt it can be done, but that isnt the point. The insurance company should replace them. If you do get a used set, make sure the two studs top and bottom are in securely (some squirm or even fully twist around as a result of trying to remove the rusted nuts with which they are attached).
Also you may need to replace/check your 951-style rear diffuser. Also have a professional body shop inspect the rear part of the unibody to see if it is still straight, which I'm sure it is, but check anyway. It is the responsibility of the insurance company to repair the as close to its previous state as possible.
Stinky situation I know, sorry. But you're both okay! And just the bumper and ancillaries is pretty minor. Good luck!
