New bumper vs fixing old one + Lip.

A huge chunk of ice destroyed my front mesh/under panel this winter...
So I swapped to the ssp one piece under panel (A+) and while I was inspecting the damage I noticed the plastic screw mounts on the drivers side had completely broke off, including the drivers side brake duct.


It's together but not show quality.


I'm trying to decide on repairing the old bumper and getting a JDP/Voltex lip or a whole new bumper.




I want it to work with the ssp underpanel too.
I'm not sure what is more bang for the buck and worth it in the long run.

Planning on doing the work yourself? If not, take it to a shop and ask for a repair estimate. A new cover is going to run $600. Looked into one myself.

I would most likely be doing it myself.
I need to replace this part.

but the plastic mounts broke off the bumper... there isn't much damage on the outside of the bumper besides mitsubishis great paint job chipping away.

Just curious, how much do used front bumpers go for?

I'm in the same dilemma. Car got hit in a parking lot. Piece of the bumper snapped off near the fender. Can't see it unless I point it out, but its bothering the hell out of me. Not sure if I should fix it yet
