Default Factory bumpers or body kit?

What's up guys. Quick question for all of you...My front and rear bumpers have some splits in them which cannot be patched. Some hit me this winter on the drivers side. What I'm wondering is if I get a body kit will it replace where the damage is done? My rear bumper is also cracked so I'm wondering if I should just get a full kit or replace the bumpers with factory bumpers. To me it makes sense just to get the kit rather than spend ~$800 on factory bumpers...Check out the pics below and let me know what you think

It's going to be cheaper overall to get the kit which will also include side skirts. some complain about fitting them but I had no problem setting my F1 myself. should be able to find one between 700 to 800 or go with the dura flex kits around a grand

does the kit actually replace all the way up to where the damage is? Or is it just an addon below the bumpers?

replaces the entire front and rear bumper clips as well as the side skirts. with the body kits the only stok pieces you keep are the hood, fenders,doors,quarters and trunk lid
