Aftermarket Bumpers...More

Not sure where to post this. But a buddy of mine who owns a body kit fabricating business wanted me to ask around on the forum if you could get a good quality guarenteed fit aftermarket front bumper what would everyone want? HKS Kansai front with lip, Giallia, C-West, or any other JDM bumpers or lips maybe even hoods. Keep in mind if there is enough interest the turn around time could be a matter of weeks. Please any and all feedback is welcome. If anyone is interested you can check out his quality @ http://www.modellistadesigns.com/. O ya if you guys check out the website look under the gallery section to see the hood he just finished for the Supras.

i'd like to see a polyurethane front bumper that supports big foglights (sorta mimmicks the evo 4 5 and 6) but with enough airflow to the oil cooler and air intake
that will be nice

please something polyurethane if you go aftermarket, fiberglass just won't take daily driving, not from what I've seen anyway.

http://body-kit.com/lane804r1.htmli always thought this bumper, the R1 was amazing, but just maybe hangs a liiiiitle bit too. i has a nice clean look tho. i agree with vegasboy, i think that valdi sports one has too much going on.

I put a vote in for the accolade front bumper, it looks sooo aggressive. It just hangs way too low and doesn't match up with the rest of the car maybe if they made some side skirts. I also REALLY like the oem with a CF lip. Or maybe the wide-body conversion from apr performance...that would be nice.
