Front Bumper

So my front bumper got jacked up from a rogue tire on the highway. And was wondering is there any pretty sweet front bumpers or should I just stay with the ix front bumper. Any oppinons are welcome and if you have pics about suggestions would be awesome as well. Thanks

I have a chargespeed going on my car as soon as it's back from paint. I too have a jacked up front and couldnt find an OEM piece at a reasonable price so.

Same, so I just thought people who have aftermarket or oem have any idea whats nice way to go. I don't want something look really ridiculous, something looks nice give it a nice appeal and what not.

The chargespeed is a nice piece. Keeping with the VIII theme. I should have it back in a week or so. Its my dads buddy I told him to take his time with it to save me some cash and him any headache

That works. Yeah there is also that issue of having it match with the factory paint

I agree. I have an 8 and wanted the look of the 9 with the lip. GSC gave me an awesome deal on it. Talk to Greg.

I have the same problem..Insurance is covering the repair so price is not the issue. Is the APR as tough as the stock piece..? Does it work with stock beams etc?

Its made of fiberglass but seems to be real sturdy. The built in lip adds a lot of strenth to the bumper and keeps it from flexing too much. Im pretty sure it should bolt right up like the stock bumper. I removed my front and rear beams for weight savings but it has a lot of room in that area. The body shop will definetally be required but it comes almost perfect. Drill holes for bolts, sand bumper and paint. The only thing I didnt like was that the grill was really week and easlily bendable. I upgraded to Grillcraft grill.
