    I have an 04 and want to put a new front bumper on it. I can't decide between a baja style tube bumper or a plated bumper. I am moving to southern california in about a month. I want an LED light bar, fog lights and several halogens mounted to it as well. Any thoughts on what i should invest in?

    Thanks!

    Less than $1,000 for sure, but preferred in the $500-$600 range

    Other than just aesthetics, what would be the advantage of having the plate bumper? Basically is it worth the extra money, if so why?
