Default Smoothie Bumper Cover? Advice.

Hey guys, My trucks going into the body shop in a few weeks, because someone broke into my garage and keyed my paint/cut decals, smashed windows... anyways...Im looking to add a bumper cover for my '98 Custom Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. If you look at my old bumper I had the steel part replaced and the OEM plastic above and below painted. So about a year ago I scraped and bent the plastic but the metal was basically OK. Now should I just replace the plastic above and below the metal bumperand have it painted again -or- should I buy one of those smoothie complete bumper covers, but I would loose my LED driving lights.. advice? Thanks.

Personally I think the old way looked sweet, the way the wind cowl thing on the bottom came down a little further had some real nice contrast with the other curves of your grille, and the fog lights are a must have, any chance we can get a better picture it looks like you gotta pretty sweet hood i might want soemthing like that

you definately need an alarm system for your house, or a killer dog, or just a friggin shotgun., if someone did that to my truck i'd hunt them down and slice their throat ear to ear.

I get all my LED's from AUTOLUMINATION.COM, the best place out there, in the front I have Switchback 3157's which are white, then when you turn the blinker on they flash from amber/white. The taillights are just 3157 "Lighttower" Bulbs, they all run about 25 bucks each but very worth it. The fogs are custom made with actually 12V fish tank spotlights epoxied into the old halogen fog light housing, they look great.
