front bumper question...

have done a little bit of searching and was wondering if and where to possibly get a 9 front bumper replica. I know there is one company that makes one (cant think of who off-hand) but it has a lip molded into it and I am not a fan...

many thanks...

Are you looking for a replica because the OEM ones are so pricey? Just curious as to why is has to be a replica...

By the time you get it painted you might as have gone with the real thing (Come pre-painted).....Unless you have a BBY EVO VIII

Yeah go with OEM or Japanese aftermarket. Japanese quality (nevermind your Evo probs) is still excellent.

back from the dead, i know, but i was looking and found "accolades" has a set of front and rear reps, if anyone has any knowledge of the fitment/quality. I am looking at reps due to cost and what-not, but I am having the whole front end re-sprayed anyways so having one painted isnt an issue...again, feel free to comment and throw in your .02

Thanks all
