Front Bumper
This isn't really a technical question, but I'd like to know.
I'm getting a new front bumper, but I'm having a hard time finding out what is good out there. I've heard a lot of aftermarket front bumpers are not good at being made to fit perfectly, and that a lot of them don't stay flush. I think that is one of my top priorities, to get a front bumper that is made to fit well or at least decently, flush with the rest of the body.
I'm also keeping everything else stock, skirts and rear bumper. So I don't want anything that goes ridiculously low while everything else is ridiculously high, just something about the same height as the OEM front bumper that matches with the sideskirts, etc.
Also, nothing ricey or crazy. Just something nice and clean. I personally love the way the Mugen styled bumpers look. If anyone has any suggestions as to something that may fit what I'm looking for, your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Front Bumper (Markov)
I have a 97 Nordic Mist SH with a no-name Mugen replica and stock sides and rear. I believe this setup is a good street kit with relatively low chance of bottoming on driveways and such. I am still at stock ride height on stock suspension. My front bumper cost around $200 or so including shipping. No, it doesn't fit exactly like stock, but you have to spend $$$ for that convenience. The upside of having a cheap bumper is I wasn't worried too much about taking a Dremel to it and cutting some holes in it for the clear USDM replacement side markers. I also fitted the bumper myself, wasn't too hard. The reality of having ANY style aftermarket bumper is that YOU WILL DRAG IT ON SOMETHING SOONER OR LATER!!! Polyurethane is the optimal choice, but if you don't want to spend the cash, scraping a cheap fiberglass bumper hurts less than an expensive one.
I realize everybody has an individual opinion on this subject...This just happens to be mine.Thanks for letting me ramble.
