Default NTB is buying me a new bumper! Suggestions please :)

So I go to NTB yesterday for a new battery and they offered a free install on it so I figure "FREE?! Why not!" Bad idea... I walk across the street for lunch while I wait only to come back to my front lip and bumper completely broken in 2 places. Whoever pulled the car into the spot pulled in way to far and then reversed alittle and hoped I wouldn't notice. Anyway, long story short they are buying me a new lip/bumper so I come to mid-a for suggestions! E10 says get a new bumper but I can't think of anything that flows well with it... So what to get?! Same lip... or a new bumper? Which flows best? Some of you have the sickest cars around and I could use some professional opinions =)

Pics of the car before:

Do you read Chen? Because he bought the battery there and they said they'd install for "FREE". Why get your hands dirty and go around scouting for tools when someone else offers to do it for free?

Yes i do read. Ntb usually hire younger folks to work there. They reason they'd install for "FREE" is because they probably saw him pull up in the Z and wanted to take a ride in it. Would you trust a stranger working on your car? Especially someone working at ntb..of all places.

That has become the norm for most auto parts stores to earn customers, at the same time the customer get his core money back.

When I worked in Auto Zone I installed batteries every freaking day, even in the rain. However I never drove a customer's car, where they park it there is where I went with my battery cart to replace the battery.

So good thing they are paying. I bet that guy is not going to work there anymore.

Thats EXACTLY what the manager said. He said that they always just do it where the car was parked and it SHOULDN'T have been moved. He didn't even try to argue... he just nodded and agreed and then signed a paper saying they would pay for everything. I guess one of the employees went for a joy ride
