A lot of folks think the stubby looks better and it allows more turning clearance for larger tires.
Here's a pic of the Vertically Driven Product's end caps on mine before I replaced the bumpers. Easy 15 minute upgrade!!

Light it on fire and burn the hideous looking Tupperware junk, then go buy an actual bumper. That is the way to fix the dent in you plastic junk.

Don't throw that shit away. At some point you're going to want to repaint whatever you get. The stock stuff will come in handy then. When I first started replacing stuff it felt good to throw the stock stuff away... Then I realized it was nice to have when I was repainting. Lesson learned.

Default Use compressed air

Just fixed a bad dent in my Jeep bumper. There are four drain holes. Find a way to cap off 3 of them. It’s as simple as two guys using their fingers over the holes. Heat around the affected area with a heat gun or blow dryer to warm the plastic. Insert a blower tool into the forth hole and inject compressed air. It doesn’t take much at all and almost a perfect fix.
