06 LS bumper issue

alright i hit something a couple months ago, and it makes me look at my car with disgust to see the scratch. i can post a picture tomorrow when the sun comes up of the damage, so you guys can tell me if it's even worth trying to fix.

but if that's not an option, i'm wondering if you can get the SS front bumper for the LS and would it fit properly? i'm not trying to make it something it's not, but i like that bumper better.

thanks for any help.

There is a place near where i live that I refabs all kinds of scrapyard bumpers to like new condition that are primed and ready to paint. They had a cobalt ss bumper the last time I was in there and it was only $150 but i didnt have the money. Then i know an owner of a body shop that gives the car club I am in a hell of a deal on paint and body work that he would probably do the bumper for around $200. Total i would probably end up spending around $350 and my deductible is $500 so i would save about $150 and a claim

mine is similar to that. its not as crisp as that and I was able to get most of the paint rubbing marks off with a little buffing.

Same thing happened to my Cobalt LS. Was wondering if anyone else had an SS front bumper they're willing to part with. I have a laser metallic blue balt so thats my preference. Thanks
