Default opinions on repairing vs replacing oem lip

Hi, cracked my front lip. How bad, cost wise, do you think the damage is? I believe the lip is OEM. Should I have it repaired, or replaced with aftermarket?

Thanks for your input

edit: Just took off the lip, looks like my bumper is intact but warped, my fender liner on the passenger side is also broken and the tabs from the bumper are no longer attached to the fender liner...starting to think i should replace the whole bumper.

That sucks, too bad it couldn't have been just the lip. You could always have some parts plastic welded and reshaped if it's not too bad.

Good luck.

Its more of a matter of how much it will cost to repair and repaint vs buying a new one and painting it.

That's about the price of a new OEM one painted.
