Got Rear-ended... What bumper should I get?

Like the title says... need you guys' expert opinions. Can't be a JDM E9 bumper though... I would like a clean look too; nothing too flashy.

Thanks in advance... this will be the first exterior mod...

Can't be the JDM E9 bumper though... its just not going to happen. Wife hates it. Believe me, if she didn't hate it so much, I would go for it.

Is it your car or your wife's?

I love the JDM IX rear bumper, but going by the sheer number of tailgaters here in Colorado, I wouldn't dare do it.

Buy the JDM 8 bumper, understated and rare. And it will open up many new avenues to body kits and JDM exhaust goodies and such

She drives it more than i do, so exterior stuff we both have to agree on...

When I said flashy.. what I meant was like show-car flashy... maybe some would call it ricey.. IDK... maybe I will have to stick w/ a stock bumper. Figured you guys would have some ideas

Your wife hates it???? Then you must be driving her Evo because my girlfriend doesn't like some stuff on my car but I don't tell her that I hate the magazines she reads yet she still reads them. Come on now.....I bet she picked out the bottle that has your ***** in it.

JDM 9 is great but doesn't look right with some exhausts. JDM 8 is the best...

No need to get personal... I just asked for opinions. I respect that she doesn't like the bumper so I'm looking at other options. You have a girlfriend. Different story. I don't know too much about body kits so thats why I posted here.
