Default not the best of nights...time for new bumper

Well tonight kinda sucked, i was driving home, was on a dirtroad and somehow kinda sideswipped a embankment and a tree......yeah im so mad at myself. anyway i was lucky with the fact that there was not much damage, just screwed up front light, and front bumper. I was gonna buy a new bumper anyway, so i guess this would be a good time to do it. while looking at bumpers, i have seen bumpers, and bumper covers. now i like some of the bumper covers that i see, but it seems like i am reading that they just fit right over the old bumper, considering mine is damaged, i can't have this. Is bumper covers a complete replacement, or is it something that just fits over what i have now.

actually i do not know if i was clear enough, its the grey valence part thats really dented, the chrome bumper is pretty much fine, beside a few dents and scratches. obv i need new fog lights aswell, and maybe even a new front right headlight, but really im just worried about the bumper or valence, what exactly will i need to get to fix this completely

that gray valence is plastic, you should be able to pull it out, if not you could get a cool front facia in place of that gray valence.

ya, you dont need the lower part of the bumper, just the top piece if your gonna put a bumper cover on. I have a street scene one and I like it. and it's pretty easy to install too. you should look at some one piece headlights or atleast some diamond cut ones.

what do you mean one piece headlights, they have the headlight, parking lights, turn signals, and corners all in one unit so that they all come out together???
