was going to say easy fix until i saw that last picture, i would say if you are getting a shop to fix it, you would have as much money tied up into that one as you would a good used R/T or SRT bumper.

Probably shouldn't listen to anything your penis says, that guy's a dick.
Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.

Doing the bumper yourself is not only cheaper, but rewarding. SRT-D bumpers aren't the greatest IMO, but WAY better than the regular 03 fronts.

The plastic welder will be your friend.
I recomend you have a shop weld it for you, since plastic welders aren't too cheap

barf, i think srt d's are such awkward ugly little beasts, the lack of nostrils, and the rounded bottom are just uggggooo to me.

i'm sure you could buy it, fix it, sell it for something though
