Default Deciding on Front Bumper

Im looking to buy a new bumper because my old one has been ripped on the bolt holes on the outsides of the bumper and it just doesnt fit right. Anyone know of any nice looking bumpers and/or sites i can buy them off of? Even just another stock bumper and then buy the type r lip (which i think looks good). Any suggestions are welcome.

Are most aftermarket front bumper body kits much lower than stock? My cars very low to the ground as is. I have the eibach lowering springs on it now. Im worried about getting a front bumper thats too low

I'd go with the 05/06 conversion or JDM front.

dont get a body kit bumper please i think for our cars they all look like crap and are poor quality and will break/ chip.
if you must get a bumper thats not OEM at least get the mugen one
and to answer you question yes most of them are lower than stock thats really the point of them

Ya that was my problem, finding one thats different but doesnt look like crap. I think the oem with a type r lip looks the nicest. Know where i can find one? Ive only seen one place that sells em.
