Default Got hit. Now what?

Well, someone backed into my front passenger bumper this past week and damaged my front upper bumper pad. Odd how they hit it...it didn't damage anything around it, but the bumper pad is trashed. Got an insurance check today for $1,200.

This is the best front-end picture I have before the damage. The only difference now is that my grille mesh is painted black, and the damage is on the passenger side. The arrow shows exactly where the damage is, in case I'm describing it wrong.



How should I spend the cash?

1. Fix the bumper pad for about $200. Pocket the rest. Possibly do '06 grille/hood.

2. SS style conversion, with Street Scene bumper cover, added black billet grilles, and retained fog lights. Still pocket a few hundred bucks.

What I have in mind:


Please vote, and comment!

My vote goes to the SS style bumper. Think it will clean the front end up nicely

Fix what you got, get a new lower valance in the dark grey, 06+ grille and aftermarket hood.
