Default Need a new front bumper setup

Well, just bumped into a jeep in front of me the other day with my new to me 2012 5.0. No damage other than his extended auto parts exhaust tip going right through the center of my bumper. The bumper's toast, so it's time to upgrade.

What's the best place to buy a replacement bumper? I'm a little worried about the condition of a newtakeoff bumper (although $400 is a good deal), so I'm thinking buy OEM and have it painted. I may throw on the Boss fascia while I'm at it. I'm not too sold on any of the other aftermarket options. Suggestions?

Roush Takeoffs or maybe even Shelby American. You should be able to pick up a front bumper cover fairly cheap (especially from Roush - $210 right now).

I bought my GT front end off ebay for $300 shipped. Bumper was an 8 out of 10 but nothing really wrong with it. Craigslist is also a great resource.

We are going to be 9.5-10 out of 10. We take great measures to preserve the painted surface and inspect each cover before they go out. Don't take a chance with Craigslist. If you have any questions just ask.
