Default hit 'n run, police caught him!! new bumper ideas?

So I got a note on my car from the Berkeley PD that some guy did a hit 'n run on me.

Time for a new bumper... I currently have a crappy vertex replica bumper fiber glass that is falling apart. This couldn't of happen at a better time.

I want to get just a bumper, non-fiberglass (polyurethane), and looks good.

What are my choices? Trying to keep it around 500$..

Any ideas would be great? How much is the Amuse bumper? What is it made of?

Thank you!

I think it is a good looking bumper. Is that the only body piece you will have on the car? If so it might be a little aggressive for a stock body.

Shine has good products and fitment. MAKEE sure you check the bumper for any sorts of " problems " and dont make the same mistake that I did. They sent me my Nismo V2, ad had a dent in the front that wasnt noticeable. But when it got painted, It started to show and it is really annoying. I didnt return it because it was already painted =/

Your bodyshop guys didn't mention it to you when they were test fitting it?

They did and they were going to heat it up and see if they could fix it, but nothing. because the material is so flexible they couldnt do anything about it. It was made like that from factory, it wasnt because of shipping or anything..
