Unless your going to get a saleen, roush, stalker, etc complete body kit, I'd just stick with the stock bumper. Having one of thoes listed bumpers would look way too out of place with the rest of the body stock.

Just got a estimate today for $900 in repairs,needs bumper cover, support bar, reenforcement bumper and pad, and paint/labor for the bumper cover.

I guess keeping it cheap would be best and just buy a new cover and get it painted.If i ever sell the car later i can always go back and buy a new renforcement bumper and support bar.

I got a new qoute for $1600 because the quarter panel has some slight damage and needs painted and repaired and got a price for a new tailpipe that has a scratch about 6inch long on the top of the tip $130.

I'm gonna get a few other parts painted like the front bumper and the other quarter panel that has a few dings in it, taillights paint black and mirrors painted bodycolor maybe.

I like the looks of the stock rear bumper even compared to the aftermarket ones. I have a Cervinis front w/ the stock rear bumper and I think it looks pretty cool. I still need side skirts though.

I also vote stock v6 or aftermarket cover, then get a 99+ GT badge for the trunk...

Spend the isnurance $$ on a new hood or something... Maybe even look into some of the body kits on ebay for like $500 for front/rear bumpers and side skirts...

bought me a bumper cover, bumper with the foam for $130 which will give me more left over money in the end after the car is fixed.I got a new qoute for $1600 because the quarter panel has some slight damage and needs painted and repaired and got a price for a new tailpipe that has a scratch about 6inch long on the top of the tip $130 but im gonna keep the money on that also.

In the end the guys insurance will have to pay $1600 and reapirs for everything are $900 so I get to pocket the other $700 and get a few other parts paint like the front bumper and the other quarter panel that has a few dings in it, taillights paint black and mirrors painted bodycolor maybe,then I'll see whats left over after all that. Sorry for it being so long just thought id share this.

at first i though you were talking about the front bumper cover... but the rear, not many cool rear bumper covers out there... i like stock

i would think that a bumper w/ holes for the exhaust would be cool... kinda like the xenon bumper, but that one looks kinda wierd

See if they can fill in the bumper letters with black paint, it looks real nice. I have the black decal inserts and i love them and they look great with the black tail lights.
