Well, heres the situation, i was tailing someone on a bike because he was the person that stole a couple cartons of cigs from my dad's store, so my dad told me to tail him cause the cops were on the way. anyways its was raining badly, and i saw the guy walk into his trailer, the street was small and i had to do a three point turn to go back, since it was already flooding (its florida, it floods easily heh) as i made the turn, i didnt see this rock that was on the grass and it was covered by all this grass and stuff....so guess what i ran into it, i thought it would be minor, but when i got out, the whole right lower end of my bumper was crushed in.

I took my car today to get a few estimates if they can just fix the bumper and get a new paint job on the bumper but apparently the damage has been done and i have to get a new one. tried callin my insurance to see if i can get a deductible on it but my insurance guy told me that they dont cover anything that is under $1500. He said I would be better off paying it full cause my premium would increase if i file it and i wouldnt get the most out of it. Guy told me that it would cost about $800 to get a new bumper, fog light cover, and new fender liner. i asked him if i got my own parts how much it would cost and he said about $450. And of course i went to another place and got an estimate and it was relatively the same price.

So my question is that since i have to replace the bumper anyways, im probably going to choose a bumper that i wanted, and not the OEM, so does anyone know any site in where i can get maybe the Euro-R bumper or something? Or should I stick with the OEM and just pay the full 800 and let them handle it?

the EuroR kit is a lip kit, not a full bumper kit. In other words, it uses your stock OEM bumper. Your options would be aftermarket like Mugen or Spoon.

You can check out Boomplustoys or Kingmotorsports for the aftermarket kits.

that sucks, i guess cant go to that path, what about an aftermarket one like the Type M bumper, anyone know if this is a direct fit?

that is a replica Mugen bumper. The Mugen bumper is a direct fit, but you never know with replicas

im not sure what i want to do: stick and get a new OEM bumper or get this replica?

OEM, if the bumper is that cheap, I doubt it will be a good fit

Looks like Lito's car when he had the gold wolfs...

after thinking about it, i probably will go with the OEM bumper cause
1) I know that it will fit
2) I will be able to add on the Euro-R lip (which i wanted in the future)
