Default SC Body Kit Advice

Hey guys, this is my first time posting so I apologize if this is the wrong place. I recently got into an accident and cracked my bumper. I'm getting a new one but I was looking at a couple body kits and they're coming up to about the same amount (~$600). Do you guys think I should go with the OEM bumper or with a kit? For reference, I have a 1998 SC 4.

The kit I was looking at looks like this:





If not, can you recommend some kits you guys like? (I don't want something too low, NY potholes would destroy me)

Thanks!

depends on what other mods you have. I say don't do. it. And if you must get a kit, look into either the Shine Auto, or T's Project
