ok, posting this here due to the fact alot of you guys have seen my car and have a good idea of what may look good. i found out the little varmit i hit did flex the nose and put a couple hairline cracks in the paint. it will only get worse as time goes on. so i have been searching for a new bumper altogether.
can't make up my mind, but found a few i am interested in. i have alot of fiberglass experience, so minor fitment issues or reworking of some of the bumper is pretty easy to deal with.
pretty obvious i like to stand out, and the first and second ones are over the top, but i am kinda digging the first one. i like the stretched out look. maybe covering over the side openings would give it a wicked stretched V2 look.

Just my opinion, but I don't think your car is "aggressive" enough to support the first or second ones. You would have to replace your side skirts and rear in order to make it flow all together. I would go with the third option.

i can get it shipped for about $450, same as the amuse.
the second one would need more work to have it look good.
i looked at the pic again. my car is abit lower than the one in the pic. that front may be sitting on the ground on my car!

i was looking at the ings long nose. just can't find any other pics of it other than one that they use to sell it. would like to see more pics. also worried about how low my car is and how far a long nose sticks out.
well, i only worked 4 hours today and have been planted here for like 24 hours trying to get prices/pics/new products/ and opinions and my brain is fried!! i am between 7 bumpers is as far as i have narrowed it.
c-west front- aero wise and air inlet wise about the best, just don't really like it
amuse- aero and air inlet very functional, like the looks, but everyone has it
vertex- 50-50 on the side view, frontal area is very large and less aerodynamic, air inlets good, overall looks good
ings long nose- concerns listed above
esprit- for the most part like it, but the little part i don't like holds me back. i hate how it curls around the front tire instead of coming straight down.
type n visage- pretty bad ***, rare, but spendy as hell for fiberglass
the rest, well, just not gunna spend that much for fiberglass that WILL get mashed again
