Default Looking at roll pans, any suggestions?

Hey all,

I'm looking at roll pans. The bumper's bent and cost to replace like $250 [:'(], plus I like the look of a roll pan.

Anybody have any pros and cons between fiberglass and steel as far as paintability, longevity, quality, etc. And does anybody recommend a seller or brand,or even somebody to not do business with? I'm thinking I'll want one with the hidden hitch feature and LMC has a nice looking one, but opinions are always welcome.

You don't want my bumper, trust me. body shop said it'd be cheaper to just buy a stock replacement, but new is like $350 or so and the local junkyards aren't coming in much better than $250 for one with no damage. Guess it's a pretty popular part around here.

Rollpans can look good. I personally would get the steel one over a fiberglass for longativity. I had a steel rollpan on my 99 QC for awhile until someone stole it. That was crazy, but i really liked it with rear exit exhaust and all that i think they look cool.
