Damn wish this has popped up right after my accident! Needed a new front bumper and hood. The repair shop said "I noticed you had a few aftermarket parts in the car and should have asked you if you'd prefer those before ordering OEM parts" lol. I am still sorely tempted.

Would you know if a regular bodyshop would be able to fix the crack? I might be interested in buying it at the end of this month, and CT isn't very far away.

Also, on an unsurprisingly related note; would MI's foglight kit fit this?

A body shop could repair it. The outer thin layer is ABS and the inside is fiberglass, so they would patch the inside for strength, and then fill the outside.

For the fogs, there are no screw bosses (threaded posts) on the inside for mounting the fogs to, but they would be easy enough to add during the repair and prep process.

Very interesting. Given the condition of my replacement bumper, I might just trade up into that if nobody else bites.
