Default Front Bumper Meets Dog

Last night my front bumper had a run in with a pretty good sized black dog. I was going an undisclosed speed and plowed into it, ended up bending the crap out of my bumper and completely ripped off the lower plastic air dam with my fog lights and bent and broke the plastic skid plate thing. I hit him so hard that it took paint off of my liscense plate numbers and now I have hair embedded into my frame in a few places. Any suggestions on what bumper or bumper cover I should go with? Thanks in advance for any input and pics will be posted later on today.

so your not saying how fast you were going i guess the dog saw the light fog light that is coming really fast

nightmarechevy maybe we can work something out and get you a bumper cover on pretty quick so you dont have to drive it like that for very long we might have to paint mine and put it on there

I had to replace my bumper a few months ago. I just got a new one from the dealer. You can also look on ebay for one. If its bent pretty good then you will want to get the brackets that are behind the bumper too. Its real easy to change it yourself. The hardest thing is taking the bumper cover and air dam off.

Its been bent pretty bad by the dog. I don't have a problem with the labor changing it, just the money to get a new one. On a sadder note, I think I creamated the damn dog.
