Default Need new front bumper.....

I haven't been on forum for while and now i am back! Right now i want a new bumper because of stupid driver backed into my truck. The driver was driving a big lift jeep with big a$$ hitch hanging. He didn't see my truck when he was backing up. I knew that he was backing up to fast and hit my truck. That jeep had like $20 damage compared to my $200+ damages. He got away but i managed to get police to bust his a$$. I tried to find and no luck. So i need help here. I can get regular one or sport one. It would be great if it was matching paint to my ram. Right now i dont have that much money now to repair the original bumper so i am trying to save because i am going to college after summer.


It needs air dam too (the plastic from the bottom of the bumper.)
It may need a bracket. but i can get bracket.
The top part of bumper that sit below the headlights.
Need plastic cover for the bumper which bumper and grille meet.

Check e-bay. Got one from this guy ( http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/tx-take-off-king/) for my 07 ram after 87 year old lady hit me. Just do a search.

you probably dont even need the air dam. some people here took them off because if they go off road, its going to eventually get knocked off
is this what you want?

they used to be cheaper for some reason. i looked back on them like a year ago and they were only selling for like $40

or you could just get a whole new SRT front end. someone posted up one for sale

If the plastic cover is cracked, then you'll only need to replace that, but if it bent in, then it also damaged the bottom part of the bumper, where the chrome is. Because that is one solid piece that in there.

I may do it only if it is cheap to do it since my truck is almond brown and it would add cost to bumper because i have to match it. I just fixed the air dam.

Here is pictures. it was taken in the morning with my cell phone.






the last pic, u will see left pipe will stick farther and pushed out more than the right one
