Victoria British LTD sells the Front Valence, which I believe is the air dam for $130 (81-83) $170 (84-85). They also sell an aftermarket polyurethane air dam for $200. You can order a magazine at www.victoriabritish.com.

I think it's painted, 'cause my friend's parents just got one, and like the day after they got it, we threw our Mountain Bike Ramp into the trunk to go hit it up, and it scratched the bumper as it fell out on the road I wasn't one of the ones who put it in luckily...

But when buying paint/primer for the spray gun, tell them what you are painting and that you need a good deal of flex addiditive, so minor things dont spider web the paint

Saturn adds more, to flex with their "no-ding" body panels. My neighbors just got dinged with a $900 bill for the special paint to repaint a patch of their Saturn SC bumper after getting it scuffed.
The problem with the no-ding panels is it often conceals damage underneath. The vehicle owner looks and can't SEE any damage on the surface, so figures all is peachy keen. That Saturn Vue might have a cracked bumper substructure.
