Carbontronix or OEM front bumper

I currently have an Evo 8 front bumper and trying to see if I should spend the $1000 on Carbontronix Evo 9 CF bumper or go OEM and save a bit of money. Does anyone else make the Carbontronix bumper but not in CF.

Look into other companies that make carbon fiber front bumpers for your 9.

I have an 03 evo 8 and I bought a carbon fiber Kaminari kit with a urethane front bumper. I like the 2 tone look with my rally red evo and additional carbon fiber pieces: Seibon trunk, VIS vortex generator, and APR GTC200 with 21/2" risers.

I could have got a carbon fiber front bumper, but I live in the Midwest and drive it in the snow and ice. Urethane is much safer. If I lived in a warm climate I for sure would have got the carbon fiber one. I believe that it does not come clear coated though.
