OK first off I got rear ended, my bumper is in tact except for a 2 inch gash and the side is alittle broken off and dosnt fit exactly flush ( cant tell I was hit just by glancing) now then I have $650 to fix it. I dont know if I want to do jsut a regular bumper replacment, aftermarket bumper or just leave it the way it is and get $650 worth of other fun car stuff any suggestions would be nice and im just at a stand still on what to get.

Well, if you get an aftermarket rear bumper, it might look off without a matching/similar front bumper. Imo, you can get away with an aftermarket (subtle one) front bumper, but it's harder to do so with a rear bumper. If you get the RS rear bumper, you can spruce up the front with the "HD special splitter/lip" like I did on mine. LOL.

*HD means Home Depot garage door bottom seal. lol.

I would just replace the bumper.... but that's just me.

Same here, what good are other mods when your bumper looks like shit?

As for replacement or aftermarket, it all depends on what you can find and what you like...

Cheers! M2

Hi

I would replace the bumper, maybe change it for the T Sport one, but then you have to buy the two lights that are mounted in the bumper.

Regards Steven.
