$560 to spend on a rear bumper-- Suggestions???

Car in question: White 4Dr 95 Civic LX

Got rear-ended this weekend and the lady didn't want to claim on insurance so I'm getting a check. I need a new rear bumper and the body shop quoted $560 for a new OEM bumper and paint, etc.
($300 for the bumper and $200 to paint it)

So I'm thinking maybe get a Body Kit bumper and go for a stock improvement?

Or maybe just get a cheaper OEM (ebay) and some lips and side skirts?

Which rear bumper do you guys like? I've never looked for these before..
So far I've found these but I can't make up my mind Are there others you would recommend? best prices?

shoot all your suggestions my way
thx

i'd get a knock off from ebay or a used oe from a jyard and then maybe a rear lip
that would be under 500 either way

I dont like any of those body kit ones

i personally think you should keep the stock look. unless you going for show. then get a whole complete kit. even if you have to mix kit.

just do us all a favor: dont buy the kit and put it on your car, till its painted!

if I go the stock route and get a lip (front/rear) any recommendations? I see lots of the Type R and Mugen. Any preferences between the 2? They both look nice to me but it's hard to tell w/o seeing it on a car.

any other lips or bumpers I should look at?

thx
