low car + big hole = need new bumper

So I'm looking into replacing my beat up c-west front bumper and had a few questions for the community.

Has anyone had any fitment experience with the c-west bumpers? how good or bad was it?

Same question for this bumper: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...3-p-45248.html

Also, what is the best material as far as fitment on average: FRP, PFRP, or urethane? any input would be greatly appreciated, as well as other suggestions for bumpers for an 04 evo VIII

The APR front bumper is nice but you'll need some good offset wheels to make it look great IMO. You can't go wrong with a oem 9 bumper with se lip and it can take a lot of abuse.

The problem with the SE lip is those brake cooling type air vents on the side that go no where. Hahaha. Has anyone cut those open?
