Takeoff Bumper
OK, I'll start off by admitting I am an idiot. I've had my stang for less than a month and I already did this... I was driving through some small town in NC last weekend and I needed to turn around, so I decided to turn around in the driveway of a self-storage place. I thought it was a flat driveway. I was mistaken...
So now the whole front of my bumper (the little lip at the bottom of it) is all scraped up. I was considering getting touch up paint and painting it, but I think for the time, money, and effort I'd put into it, I might as well get a new bumper.
I don't really feel like spending a boatload for an aftermarket one that I will then have to get painted, so I think I'm going to go with a takeoff. I'm looking at getting one from NewTakeoff.com for $200+shipping. Anyone shopped with them before? Anyone know another place to get them (already checked ebay)? Anyone wanna mock me for being stupid?
Thanks!

Whoops, forgot to mention the color. Its Redfire.
So I called NewTakeoff and the bumper costs 200, but shipping is another 140. So I'm thinking i may just order a CDC Classic chin spoiler. It will cover up all the damage I did while looking cool at the same time.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

If you scraped your stock bumper, a chin spoiler is going to give you way more issues. I've got the 2.5 mach1 spoiler from Cervinis and I've ground it a couple times. I've also got a shelby spoiler (too good of a deal to pass up) so I'm just waiting a good deal on a V6 bumper to come along.

No, it shouldn't be a problem. The only reason I scraped it was because I was being dumb. I don't do that all that often (at least I try not to). I haven't scraped the bumper on a curb at the end of a parking space yet and I've become much more aware of the places I'm pulling into and out of.
Wow that sounds dirty....
