Default Wreck Aftermath + TLC

This is after the wreck and some TLC, a..k.a. Polishing Compound, and Lucas Oil Slick Mist.. sorry that I never took some directly after the wreck.









Now the question is keep the bumper, and use the money for something else, or get it fixed?

Keep it how it is, give it a little buff and most of that will go away, of course the dents won't but that's okay.

Save up for a cool spoiler! (pace car)

I did give it a buff :P.. I dont have a buffer though lol. And actually the surfboard is probably what I'll be sticking to. I like the way it comes out over the back of the car, and there is too much work to do a different spoiler, even with the intimidator III. There are a few things that I want, some more reasonable than others.. one is the WS6 hood, I almost had one, then the guy bailed the other is a spyder 3 hood maybe, another that is far fetched is a roof spoiler with lights in it, but I know that will never happen, only way I'd do it is if the batteries for the lights were solar charged, and the lights had a wireless on off remote, lol. Another thing I've been dying to do is a nice CAI. So now I can do that Maybe I'll do some sway bars too so my car will actually feel sporty, lol. I love the way my friends srt-4 looks when it takes turns, barely any body roll at all.

If I get the CAI, how hard is the install, and isn't there something in the OEM air box that I'll need to deal with? I plan on going the route of Cold Air Inductions CAI. Should I do powder coated black or brushed aluminum?

You did a great job buffing the bumper. Many people won't notice the damage. But as the car owner, you'll see it everytime you look at the bumper. And you'll know it's there. You got the money for the bumper, if it was me I'd get a new bumper. I know I'm in the minority here. But that's just my opinion.
