When my old lip (Anceltion Felicia) cracked beyond repair I went out and got the ISF replica bumper. For just the front it was like $600 installed. Had it for over a year, no issues.

Doesn't go with the side but with the rear it good. Cause the front of the vertex hang lower than your rocker panel now. If you go vertex get the side and you'll be all set with the gfx rear.

There you go and if you know the roads you travel and pot hole to avoid your good. I live in the northeast just like you we get snow and then pot holes. Im pretty slammed and yet to crack my lip. Knowing the roads and altering your routes avoids damage.
