Need a new Front Bumper...Suggestions?
So to make a long story short, I hit a shredded 18-wheeler tire this weekend and messed up the front bumper.

I may just get the factory AMG again, but then I thought about something different.

Maybe the Expression DTM bumper which I love, but I don't know if I want to wait a month to get it.

Any other suggestions on what I should get and a RELIABLE place to get it?

Yeah, that'll work brother! Are you going to grille the bottom or leave it open?

I'm going to leave the grill on. It already comes on the bumper I believe, and I'll paint it matte black if it doesn't already come that way.

I'm going to leave the fog lights off as well, so if anyone needs any factory fogs, give me a shout via PM.

If your new bumper doesn't come with a grille, you can buy a gutter guard for leaves at Home Depot. It is the same thing. They cost about $2.19 a piece. It took 2 of them to do my bumper.
