Default Front Bumper Suggestions Needed

I have a white 2016 SCREW with chrome front/rear bumpers. I had a little tie in with the back of a Camaro yesterday and it looks like I'll be in need of a new front bumper once the insurance company does their thing.

Any suggestions on an aftermarket bumper with brush guard that doesn't look too aggressive? I figure it'll come out to be about the same price as OEM.

Picture of my truck attached.

I love my Fab Fours front end. I have the full guard which looks somewhat aggressive, but they have other options.

The OEM front bumper assembly is substantially cheaper than most of the aftermarket bumper options if you can avoid paying retail. Since you'd be looking at PTM, that might change the calculus a little.

That said, I like my HNC prerunner as it's solidly built but doesn't scream at you aesthetically.

The OEM bumper is total crap... sitting at a redlight, traffic took off, car in front of me didn't. I had about 3' in between us... the Camaro bumper looked better than mine.

Haha, I'm pretty sure the definition of that bumper is "scream at you".

Haha. Well, compared to a lot of the full-guard bumpers people run around here, it's a little more subtle. From further away, and especially from a more front-on view, it actually blends pretty well from a visual standpoint (and the non-guard version blends really well, although I wanted a little bit of help in critter deflection).

I did the Raptor style, I was surprised when I removed the factory bumper how thin the metal was.

Is this the raptor style bumper and a separate bull bar? Or a one piece?

thanks.
