Default Bumper issues

When i baught my 05 White 4.0 in January 08, I noticed the front bumper had lots of stone chips in it from 55000 miles of highway use. I was annoyed but got used to it when i wash it. A few months ago, i reversed into a parking space and came back and i had a nasty scuff on my front bumper on the left side. It made me feel sick and i havent repared it because im not shure what i want to do.

My options are:
Fix the scuff and leave it with the stone chips in it.
$25-50
Or purchase a GT front bumper for $200. I like the GT front better but people have accused me of posing because of my SINGLE GT muffler and my GT suspension.
I was given a GT grille with no fogs or wireing.
What should i do? Save money and live with stone chips or get a whole new front bumper from new takeoff?

Thanks for the advice.
Chris

posing!? haha.. as long as you dont put "GT" on it, then you can pose. I like the GT body panels better too, and I had the front and rear and was goign for the suspension prolly if i didnt get creamed in a wreck. I say go for the GT, it looks great and is cheaper than a custom one. and remember, its your car, do what makes you happy, dont worry abotu the haters, or the 'poser police' haha

cheers

Chris many guys on here have the GT front bumper as well as the rear. I've even seen some with the GT500 stuff. I do think you are right, as long as you don't put GT emblems or a snake, then you aren't posing. It's your car, do what you want to make "you" happy.

if someone says that you are a poser for that then somebody obviously likes being a *******

Stop worrying about what other people think and do what you want.
