Bumper Woes!!

Okay I am in quite a quandry...

I like the Marlin rear bumper, but I also like the Warn/TJM winch bumpers, I think the Marlin front bumper looks "okay," but its just not my style what do you think it would look like to have a Marlin rear bumper and a Warn or TJM front bumper. Would they look bad together? I need a new rear bumper, and I was wondering if I should just get a stock replacement or maybe a "offroad" replacement. I will be getting a winch in the (far) future and I was hoping for some opinions. I just need some other opinions

FWIW: I dont want to spend $800+ dollars on a bumper like warns which is almost the same as stock!! Just thicker materials!

Find a local fabricator and have them make what you want.

There arent any well known around here, plus they would want an arm and a leg for something like that!!

I would love to have a custom bumper made for me though!!!

Use the money to buy a MIG and some scrap. Learn to weld and design a bumper in addition to having one
