    myself, id lose the rear horns, and the mirrors, and possibly get a dimma spec front bumper, spend a few hours with a block on that skirt as it looks a bit buckeled, and treat the thing to a nice bright respray. Wheels would also benefit from a Diy refurb.

    Looking at the original crashed bumper it looks to me that you have done some good repairs on it. However ill be honest in saying i dont believe the bumper suits the kit.
