as far as dents and replacements go....when I bought my truck it had a small dent in the front bumper, nothing to concern me at the time, well, 300 bucks later I had a half *** fitting aftermarket made in bum f nowheres bumper shipped off of ebay. I had to straighten out the one side brace since it took the bruite of the hit, that and the new plastic parts didnt fit perfectly on the bumper. I was gona get it painted before I put it together, good thing i didnt because with the shitty fit half the paint would have cracked off before i got it all together, so what I"m saying is make sure everything is straight and goes together before you paint it, that and nothing fits like oem.
