What bumper to go with now ?!?!

So I bought my evo back in February. When i bought the car it came with what I at first thought was a HORRID body kit on it. The Veilside D1 GT to be exact. but anyways my first intentions where to take the kit off and replace it with a evo 8 nose chop or 9 front, and a factory kit. The kit has kinda grown on me a little bit, and it seams to grab attention from the general public and even from other car enthusiast. the front doesn't look as snow plowish in person as it does in pics though. sooo now the front is destroyed because i let my younger brother drive the car and he forgot to come out of driveways at an angle. SO I NEED OPINIONS ON KITS or IDEAS FOR WHAT I SHOULD DO!! (not trying blend in with the other 3 evos in town)

ORIGINAL KIT Veilside D1 GT











DAMAGE (drive way didn't do it all, i was pissed at the time and stomped it)

Sorry to hear about your car, but it happened for the best. Trust me, that body kit is horrible. Go with Evo IX front bumper and SE lip. That is the cleanest and best looking setup for any evo. Keep it simple and you will definitely get way more compliments than what you probably get now. ^^

urethane is the way to go! i only buy urethane for all my lips for all my cars. it is worth the extra money........

FYI, if you call VIS. you can special order any of there bumpers in urethane! it might be 1K or more, but it will last the life of the car!

I think you did the car a favor by stomping off that kit. Just go with an OEM bumper and a lip and call it a day
