Damn that sucks, its all what you like. Just looks like you had a bad day. I've had my roll pan for 7 seven years with no problems, as far a someone hitting me (knock on wood). I would go back with a rollpan but if you don't mind the bumper look go with. Nothing wrong with a little extra protection.

Color matched bumper FTW, and a new set of led tail lights.

I vote colormatched bumper. I used to want a roll pan until I got rearended by a car going 65mph. My bumper and hitch is probably the reason my truck wasn't totaled and his car was.

i guess i am on the other side of this, i would get a roll pan but thats just for looks only. Protection wise of course colormatched bumper would be better but i really love the look of a roll pan. just my honest opinion
