Default Bumper damage...

well i was coming home from work one night. i was on the highway and hit a abandon old tire...(must be from a truck since it was pretty big)

i couldn't avoid it since i saw it when it was about 20 ft away from me while i was going 65mph. but if i did react to it, i would probably ran over it with my tire and spin out. but instead i went completely over it. i didnt think it would be that bad since it just heard a bump.

when i got home my bottom grill completely popped off...and the bottom part of my front bumper was busted up.

theres seems to be no damage besides the bottom paint being messed up. and the plastic skid plate is bent pretty badly.

cant go through insurance since my deductible is $500...wtf

i think i can cover it with a lip kit...im not good with styling so which would you guys recommend? and where?

its a silver 09 tc

post pictures of the damage...if the damage is not any higher up, then putting a front lip is a good idea. also that gives you an excuse to buy fig or vrd grilles.
