    I got into an accident last week, in which I was at fault, sadly. The front end of my truck is damaged. It needs essentially a completely new bumper and valance, as well as all of the mounting hardware. My question is whether y'all think that putting the stock configuration back together or getting an aftermarket/offroad style bumper would be better. This truck isn't an off road rig, although it might get to live that life some day!

    If aftermarket, what bumper should I look for? Also, if I do an aftermarket bumper without the plastic lower valance, what should I do with my turn signals?

    Thanks, thats the way I was leaning. Ive already got the valance and little plastic part that goes on top of the bumper. I need a new grille, and I saw a few upgrades out there but I think I'm gonna return that to stock too.

    Cheers!
