Who makes the best replacement bumpers?

Hey guys,
Wish I didn't have to do this but I need some opinions on replacement front bumpers. I was driving home last night from a work function and the SUV in front of me swerved and hit a deer and it bounced right in front of me once he hit it.... The good news is that I am fine as well as the other driver but the big SOB damaged my front bumper. The damage is not bad and honestly I don't think a lot of people would get it fixed but this is my baby and I'm going to get it fixed. There is a crack in the bumper so I think the best option is to get a new bumper. Does anyone have any experience on who has the best replacements for fitment as well as quality? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I will also need the lower mesh if anyone knows where you can get that as well?

Absolutely. I was trying to cover all my bases as I'm still waiting for the insurance adjuster to come out but in the meantime I took it to the best dealer with a body shop in the area and had them just do a ballpark quote. $3800 total. The bumper alone is $1600. The good thing is that he knew the adjuster that will most likely come out and he said that I just need to let the adjuster know that I had already had him look at it and he recommended a new bumper rather than fixing the other one and it shouldn't be an issue. All in all I should get away with just a $500 deductible. Could certainly have been much worse...

Update: The insurance adjuster came today and he said that the bumper could be repaired but I insisted it be replaced and his estimate has a replacement OEM one. His estimate was a couple hundred dollars less but should hopefully have a check in hand next week and get the shop to order parts Monday or so and have it in the shop the following week. Thanks for the kind words.
