Unhappy For Christmas, I got a cracked bumper

On this Christmas morning, I arrived at my parent's house and when I parked my car I front of the house like I always do. I hit a small bump of frozen snow, got out of the car and found this :http://m.imgur.com/a/u2fvo

Needless to say that killed completely my Christmas vibe.

What are my options here? I thought hiding this with the a spec bumper but I don't think it's a good idea with this weather. .

I think regardless, an aspec bumper is a must have! Do you have a pic of your current bumper?

A type-s aspec lip kit will hide that.

New bumpers come unpainted for roughly $250. Add another $150-$250 to get it painted. You'll be spending about $400-$500 total just to get a new bumper and painted nbp.

A type-s front lip costs about $225-$275 shipped I believe and comes painted from factory so you don't have to go through the hassle of finding a painter and paying a extra few hundred $$s to get it painted.

I would go with the type-s lip to hide it while enhancing the look of your vehicle.

Where can you order the lip kit? Obviously, if I go this way, I'll buy the full kit.

You don't have to buy the full kit if you don't want. Just buy the front and call it a day. The whole kit is going to run you $750ish

If you plan on buying parts of the kit or the whole kit I recommend you to contact our vendor here on acurazine for the best prices.

His name is Bruce and goes by AckTL05 here on the forums.

When you select an item the Type S lips are listed also.
