Default Need a new front bumper

I was parked at a park and ride lot waiting for someone and a Shuttle Express van drove by me and turned too sharp and drove over my front bumper. I was thinking of replacing it with a custom replacement. Any suggestions?

Seriously, I like the Tigershark but maybe not as much as the stock front.

A TigerShark front end would be my first choice.

Default replacement bumper.

Have you considered buying a used one and refinishing in your color? These folks have treated me real nice over the years www.contemporarycorvette.com and they ship UPS everyday. 215-788-8693

It is covered by the other guys insurance so I am not concerned with used.

Time to consider a Tigershark. For those in this this thread that earlier bashed it, I have to respectfully disagree and comment that I think the Tigershark looks great and improves the overall look of the car. However, I will say I prefer it without the chin spoiler.
