Aftermarket Front Bumper?
 
Over the weekend, someone backed into my front bumper which pushed in the mazda logo and that portion of my bumper. I took it to the auto body shop and they are saying that the entire bumper needs to be replaced, quoting $2300 in damage.

I'm going to file a claim with my insurance so I just need to pay my deductible, but since we need to replace the entire front bumper, am I able to request that the auto body shop purchase an aftermarket bumper?

If so, what is the best one to go for?

some love it, some hate it, but its an option:
Style Upgrade with AutoExe for the Mazdaspeed 3

Avoid this and just buy a used front OEM bumper. Aftermarkets will NEVER fit as well as an OEM unit.

He's right about this, you need a skilled body shop to make it work right.

They discontinued that part awhile ago, and no one carries it anymore because of the current currency exchange rates.
If you/anyone has bought the AutoExe front bumper from CS, it should be a perfect fit.
