I had my bumper fixed by a local shop and it is awesome........
Whoever put the front plate on my car failed... horribly...
Got it all fixed and had my lip painted..
The bugs and rocks just fall off of it now. New paint FTW.
Just for the sake of argument, I have the clear bra on my hood and fenders.. it has chips in it. It was MUCH more expensive than repainting my bumper.
$700 for the clear bra vs $250 for the bumper and lip.
