Default KR-S Front Bumper (Kaminari copycat) or OEM Bumper ???

OK I slid on some ice a week ago into a parked car and broke my passenger headlight and cracked my Front bumper.
My question is, Should I just get the KR-S Duraflex Front Bumper or another OEM Front Bumper???
If it'll make my car look better I was thinking why not just get an aftermarket bumper for about the same price. (OEM front bumper costs around$160 and the KR-S Duraflex Front Bumper costs around $180) plus shipping of course.

I've read that this "copycat" Kaminari body kit is obviously cheaper, IE Get what you pay for. but what makes it like that? Does it not fit well? Not necessarily compared to the expensive real Kaminari kit but just in general sense.

***If anyone has pics of the tC with just the KR-S Front Bumper on, without the rest of the kit, please post them so I can get an idea of clearance and alignment. (and please mention if your car is lowered or not)

dont get a body kit unless you get the whole kit cause it will look retarded. the front will be lower than the rest.

get oem. Having the front only looks kinda weird. Also these knockoffs spiderweb and crack if you scrape too much. After you spend all the extra money getting it to fit due to poor fitament, you might as well have just gotten the original kami kit in the first place.
just my .02...
