Great new front end mod thanks to my friend

Well I was parked behind him and what do ya know, he backs right into me. He was in a tahoe and the bottom of the trailer hitch is what caused the damage. It is dented in and scratched. I guess an oe front bumper is like 225 unpainted. Its not huge damage but still just enough to **** me off. Its only 3 months old, 05 wrx. Now the question is should I just go OEM or maybe ?
Update, When I took off the c-west grill I noticed another crappy dent. I put the original grill back on so I can prep the c-west 4 paint.

It's a sign from the Suby Gods!!!!!!.....get an aftermarket front ....somtimes it's cheeper to get an aftermarket frontend than an OEM....do some research......there's alot of good looking frontends for the newer model WRX's...... sorry to hear bout what your friend did.....but the good news is now there is a good reason to get an aftermarket front end.....good luck

Could have been worse. I just had to pay a $500 deductible because some idiot with a truck backed into my 02 wagon. They took out a $400 Morette headlight and totalled the hood. It wasa $2200 repair job said and done.

Thanks for all the sympathy guys, Its a c-west grill, and I guess at least now ill have a chance to get it painted. Ive been lookin around and an oe front bumper will be 179.00, not a bad price but shipping to alaska and paint will probably put it in the 500.00 area, Oh and my friend is payin for it. And he will be payin for it for a long time because im gonna bring it up every chance I get. This is the second car of mine he has hit.
