Getting a New Bumper!! Need Advice!

So i got in a accident awhile back if anyone remembers, and they might end up replacing the bumper..and well its cheaper for the insurence company to go aftermarket so ive been looking around and here are the two ive found..

Aftermarket body parts for the cobalt don't look that great IMO.

ok apparently you dont understand the manitoba public insurence..pretty much they tell you whats wrong..and you go to a body shop..body shop then sends MPI the bill and MPI does the rest..THEN inspects the car after...its really tight ass..

Young Adults...think they know everything

trust me lol id rather have more go fast then some bumper..but if its free why not right?

the only difference between the 2.4 and 2.0 bumper is the 2.0 has the slits to attached the lip.. they bolt up exactly the same

Another think Proj, is aftermarket never fits like OEM...OEM is designed to last, whereas aftermarket is usually for looks...

...that and I really think the stock looks best

Wont insurance cover the cost of a SS/SC bumper? I mean not many people would know the difference, I dont think they will really look at the part number
