help suggestions on front bumper

i hit my front bumper doing drifts between snow banks. Nothing to bad, but the front lip got ripped off and the bumper is scratched (not too bad). any decent but cheap alternatives to buying a new one from mitsu?

i would say either sand it down a little and repaint that spot, or bondo it depending on how bad the scratches are

LOL I did the same thing. I ran over a snow covered sidewalk. I busted my ball joint and the front passanger side strut. I was snow drifting like a champ and then POW! Hit up the FOR SALE sections. I always see people selling their bumpers.

I'm in the same boat, but in my case i have crack on the bottom , i see many options for rear bumpers , Like the JDM an such, but how about front bumpers? There are any front JDM's available or anything that doesn't look rice?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Buy a new lip off of ebay and find a evo friendly body shop on a local forum and get it painted. I got my new lip and bumper painted for $200 and found a lip on ebay for less then $100. Out the door less then $300.00.

I would go to 3 body shops, ask for three estimates, and go for the one that is going to offer good service at a reasonable price.

You might be able to find one in the complete car part out section. Lots of wrecked evo's there, one might just have been hit from the rear and the front bumper is still fine. Who knows
