Sorry to hear that man!

Don't feel like an idiot, it's accident, they happen to all of us.

Just be glad nobody was hurt, and that the damage wasn't too extensive, and look on the bright side, now you have an excuse to look for a kit....

Hope you get if back strait soon. Good Luck!

Just do not be surprised if the bumpers you list above require alot of work and reshaping in order to really fit the car. The kit2 from above looks like a bad fit even in the picture. You can not tell from their pics how much they reshaped and massaged the piece for a fit before their pics. Many of these aftermarket parts do not mount strongly either as supplied. Additional bracing may need to be fabricated for a sturdy fit as well. Good luck. I suggest that a replacement factory bumper is not a terrible idea and also may likely cost less than anything you listed above (assuming you have to pay for modifications for fit and mounting). Aftermarket lips are far less dangerous than a complete front bumper assembly as far as fitment and durability , they are smaller

If you are going to go with one of the 4 I would go with #1 looks kinda like a kenstyle and the kenstyle kit is allway a clean lookin kit. If it was a real kenstyle i know it not it would fit great but this kit will most likley look like poo. Maby just go stock or a real kenstyle if you can find and afford it..

I had that same hole punched into my plate. The best part was the lady at the DMV said it was fine and that they wouldnt replace it so i hammered it back out and just had a square mark where there was no paint on the plate.

thanks fro all the feedback guys

so im pretty sure im just going to get this fixed
no new kit
i might get the right foglight hole molded(im guessing thats the right term to use)
and getting the other one done so it looks good
might also get the middle piece and the part of the lip right under it painted black
