Dave as Esel Man stated make sure there isn't more significant damage behind the plastic. If your satisfied the vehicle is sound otherwise the bumper is repairable by you at home. Lots of youtube videos on repairing plastic bumpers. You need to plastic weld the tear and fill the hole. The trick is when sanding plastic it creates little "hairs" that can/will show up in the finish coat if not removed. So youtube plastic bumper repair. Supplies will cost a few hundred dollars. My local jobber will mix half quarts of paint for small jobs or hit it with Duplicolor from a rattle can if you don't need it perfect.

My guess it would be easier to source a used bumper from a you-pull-it yard or from Ebay (there's one on there now for $135.00). but it can be repaired if you want to give it a try. Either way it's a good father son project.

Good luck
