Someone tagged my G in a parking lot.

Someone tagged my G in a parking lot. I've had it for all of nine days. Large scuff on the front bumper, and the plastic popped out on the left side. It was hard to get too upset as they left a note and owned up to it. Superficial cosmetic repair, not enough happened to make me worry about the frame or tranny. Didn't have a chance to call them today as it was too late by the time I got home.

I think it's going to require a new bumper, so I was thinking it may be a good time to upgrade to the sport or aero/IPL bumper. Obviously I may need to kick in something too, although who knows, I think the steal they had on the IPL bumper is over, but I imagine you couldn't buy a base bumper for as cheap as they were selling those IPL bumpers.

Any good leads on a Graphite Shadow bumper? Base, sport, or aero/IPL; new or used to fit the car in sig. I'm guessing they may want to settle outside of insurance, so I'd like to get them a good deal. If it's through insurance, price may not matter as much, but I would be interested in looking into the other bumper options.

I'm planning on running a Stillen grille and I think the best look would be the Sport bumper. Front tags are required in CO.

Any thoughts or leads?

Is it turned or cracked?? If not, I don't think it's going to have the need to replace tho...
Unless you can talk them into it...

Deep large scuff and scratches and it's buckled, twisted and popped out. They may be able to save it, but it probably will be cheaper to replace. Plus I'd be willing to shell out a few extra bucks to upgrade it to a better style that*doesn't require body repair. There's also a little scratch on the fender from the buckled bumper rubbing on it. If I replace the bumper, I might add a Stillen CAI at the same time, as I think you need to pull the bumper to add the CAI, so I'd save a bit on installation.
