Front Bumper Advice

Hi, We are racing our Evo X in NASA TT and Time Attack and had a brief off track excursion that damaged the front bumper. I'm hunting around for used OEM bumpers (let me know if you have one) but also looking for inexpensive, well constructed alternatives. We are not looking to alter the style of the car too much and mostly are looking for a solution that will be more cost effective that a new OEM. The bumpers tend to get torn up a bit over time and so nothing too fancy is required.

I'd like some advice and perspective on options and opinions on the few vendors I've found, like:

Duraflex
ITZ
ChargeSpeed
Who else do you like that might fit our bill?

Thanks in advance for your help.

John

If you want OEM

K & P Auto Dismant. Inc.
15295 Whittram Ave.
Fontana, CA 92335
909 428 6899

is showing a front bumper cover only for a 08 GSR. They popped up on www.car-part.com

Good luck.

Thanks, yes, interestingly, they are selling theirs for $65 less than a new one... and won't ship.

Ah. Well, it might be a new take off or something, which is why they'd ask so much for it. Oh well .

duraflex sucks and does not even fit correctly, chargespeed is probably your best bet good price and great fitment and material, also c west is the same price and an amazing product, you can also get the ing+1, its a bit pricy, contact driveline motoring and they will be able to get you prices shipped
