My front Bumper is Damaged

What bumpers do you suggest? Those bumpers are actually the best looking ones that I found at Andy's Auto Sport.com

The only body kit that remotely looks good is the kaminari and you need the whole thing not just the front bumper

Body shop and my insurance company said im looking at 350 bucks Then another 330 to paint it. I rather buy an aftermarket bumper for 180-250 and paint that! then later get the skirts and bumper.

$330 to repaint the front bumper is a ripoff lol.

Oh and those cheap knockoff bumpers will have horrible fitment. You'll end up paying more money to get them to fit right than you would if you had just bought an OEM replacement.

those 3 bumpers are not worth it, why
1. they are all from extreme dimensions who makes the fiberflex and has very bad fitment.
2. it will take alot of prep work for the bumpers to look good and for the paint to stick on right.
3. duraflex is thinner than the regular fiberglass and it will crack easily
4. the KR-S is a knock off of the kaminari kit

as for how low will it be, if you are that worried and aren't used to driving like 2-5 inches off the ground then just get a stock bumper. the KR-S (kaminari) will be really low that you will more than likely scrape on the freeway, the B-2 (hope this is the buddy club one) it will be higher than the KR-S but the durablity and fitment is one of the worst of all the kits out there. R-34 looks ugly but hey it's your car but that one is about between the KR-S and B-2 in height. i hope you know that it will cost you more just to get the bumper to fit right than that $350 budget you are on.
