Shoveling it, seemed like 2-3" fluffy dry snow.

You going to POR-15 the bumper? If you do make sure you get their clear-coat that is UV resistant. If you use straight POR-15 it will fade and discolor in no time. In the Fall i POR-15'd the L-trim on the 4Wallet, from sitting in the driveway for months, one side is noticeably gray, while the other is nice and black.
If i bought that fancy bumper, i would have it powder-coated. Should be relatively inexpensive (under $100), it will be more durable then POR-15, and won't fade like POR.
Just my 2cents.

Here is a link to the LEDs i use in my courtesy/dome lights.
I told my son about your pathetic interior light...he laughed when i tried to describe its inability to illuminate anything past the translucent cover.

There is a powdercoating shop near me i will give them a call today and see how much it will cost me to have it done.

Also thanks for the link you jerk, the stock blubs are weak!
