Question What front bumper and hood combo?

I just found out my car is not totaled so I have to shop for a new hood and front bumper.

What hood+bumper combo would you buy? Or should I just install a stock bumper again?

Pics and links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Thats awesome new bro. I would say stay stock on a bumper, too fancy is gonna draw attention away from the paint. as for the hood I loved the one you had, the one you posted today not so much. Have you looked at the suncoast ram air hood. Fully functional hood scoop if you get their airbox kit for the SC and vents to vent hot air.

BC2 kit is the only one aside from the rk sport one that possibly looks good aside from the stock one

Thanks bro I like that G5 hood too. That Suncoast hood is one functional hood man. I have seen it but I idn't know it could be that functional. I'll keep that in mind man thank you.

That BC2 kit is my favorite as well. That one or that new kit that Impot Trnz put out. I'm leaning towards the BC2 front bumper or stock as of now.....

Stock bumber and get the same hood. To me anything else besides the stock bumper is to flashy. Plus I like the looks of the stock SS/SC bumber, its sexy

Tony, I would Go with the stock bumper unless you plan on getting the whole kit. To me if you jsut do the bumper and not the whole kit, it looks stupid. As for the hood get the same one

Thank you sir. This is all great input guys.

What do you guys think of this bumper? I haven't seen many posts about it.
Almost stock looking and not too agressive.
