Default Broke My Lip -- Need Advice!!!

I recently broke my front lip and need some advice on what to do next. I am new when it comes to the car show scene and would like to know what would be the best option. Since its urethane I dont think it can be easily fixed but not really sure. I am also on a budget since I just bought rims n tires. Opinions Needed!!!

Note: New Front Bumper means different than stock!

My advice is pretty simple. Fix what's wrong first, then upgrade.
It cracked all the way through the ground effects kit and the bumper?

Only the lip is cracked , but yes all the way through. Just thought it might be a good time to upgrade bumpers. I am looking at the M3/M-Power bumper.

It depends on if you want the look or you want speed. If you want the look then get the m3, else get a new front lip/headers/s-pipe.

Let me re-pharse this -- What will be more impressive to judges?

in car shows i think they like crazy ricey stuff, so a new front bumper would probably net you a good amount of points

HIN is more about performance than looks. The header and s-pipe will help more than anything there.

I picked number 2.
