I recommend you use an OEM bumper, after market aren't quite the same. My 1st C5 I hit a raccoon and decided I'd go after market front bumper, I regretted it the entire time I owned that car.
I have picked a shop.

And I will definitely be using all OEM parts.

Keep in touch, this summer I'd like to schedule a few car cruises. Always nice to have an extra C5 on the trip.

Alright.... I got the car back a few days ago but choose to tuck it under the cover due to bad weather, today was nicer (around 40 degrees) and I decided to clean her up.

Massive thanks to Brandy @Brandy's Auto for fixing her up, he did a spectacular job. Another shout-out to rmendoza (Rick) for helping me out with my hood situation.

Here are some after-pics.. Sorry for the low quality, I don't have access to a good camera.
