Default bumper

Long story short, aplastic crateflew off the back of a truck and I had no other choice but to hit it due to oncoming traffic and a ditch to the side of me. The paint on the passenger side of the bumper is ruined.

I'm considering ditching the stock bumper and going with something different, any suggestions on frontbumpers that look good?

Also, if I decide to keep the stockbumper, what do you guys think would be the cost to have it sanded down and repainted?

I was thinking around 200-250ish sounded somewhat reasonable...

Thanks.

Cobra R front and Saleen fronts look good, but if your gonna replace that id go with a full kit! Is the guy who was driving the truck paying for it?

yea should get the person driving the truck to pay for it. my friend backed in my front bumper and left a square hole. i told him 100 bucks and ill call it even. luckily it was where the licence plate on the front would be so i just went and got one with now raised letters from Canadian Tire and painted it to match my car and you cant really tell its there unless you are like 15 feet away. i plan on gettin a Cobra R front in the summer.

Termi bumpers are always nice, check on Ebay, you can order them prepainted.

I got mine from carpartswholesale and it was perfect. But don't forget, you have to order fogs, bezels and the chin spoiler. That's another $300

Yeah I'm about to order the fogs I want.

I'm not sure about the chin spoiler on the cobra bumper. I'm a bit stretched for clearance as it is lol.

How does it look?

It's not like a Mach 1 thing, it's what is normally there from the factory

Where is a good place to pick one of them up at? I checked ebay and several other places and didn't have any luck...



Thanks
