replacing front bumper

Had an accident with front bumper. Insurance wants $1000 to repair. I found a nice looking bumper at ironbullbars.com for around $1300. However it would need retrofitting to fit factory fog lamps though it has opening for it but no bracket.

They have one designed very nice for the new F150. Any suggestions?

Do you mean this?

I prefer the look of the stock bumpers.

Agreed. That bumper just looks out of place

I would not let the use of the factory fog lights impact my decision. I would suggest if you are going to go that route, replace the fogs as well.

If you were in TX, I'd say go for it. You just don't see that sort of thing around your parts, if in fact you're in PA. Might look a bit out of place. I'd go factory.

Just for the fact of how many deer I've hit over the years, I love the functionality of that bumper - but for looks, I don't think I could take it.

Edit: I see that you can color match the bumper - kind of confusing as this page sounds as if you would have to do it yourself:

Maybe color matched wouldn't look quite so bad?

I think it's tough looking for a full blown 4x4. Is that your direction?

Like I said, maybe in TX.

There's a picture here of a body painted matching ironbull in white sand.
