Bumper options need help S.O.S

[Hayden_]

So about a month ago I was pulling into my garage which is in the basement (this was during our southern snow storm) and skided and clipped my right fender on the brick. So that sucks, but I got it fixed about a week or two ago ($2000 fix)! :cheer2: hurray right? Right. Well this weekend was prom, and a lady had a small tree cut down to literally 12 inches, I know this because I put my shoe up next to it.

Anyways I hit this thing with my bumper again (keep in mind it wasn't noticeable as in you couldn't see it unless you looked for it) after we just got mine fixed and it cracked the damn thing, so I went yesterday to a friends shop and he told me it would be $600, but personally I'd rather just hold off on it and get an off-road bumper for double the price maybe a bit more or less etc you get the point.

So does anyone here have experience with the off-road bumpers like the metal ones! I'd like a black one! My car is mica gray I think, just need some options people! I'd have to save up money now cause I'm 16 so I figured I'd figure out what I want now!!

If it helps the only things I've done to my car is

Daystar 2.5/1.5 level (also will the bumper, being as it's heavy, lower the front of the car a bit cause of weight?)

And no running boards


Thanks everyone!

I think there are some people with metal black bumpers on here and tons of info on each one. The search function of the site may be useful in the situation.
