I put my baby into a ditch last weekend, but was lucky enough to escape with only a messed up bumper and some broken plastic underneath........but on to the topic:

Since only the lower portion of the bumper is messed up, I was thinking of just getting a lower lip for it and covering up the damage for now, so I would like some ideas on different styles of front lips. I would like to stay away from fiberglass since I auto-x, it breaks too easy, so urethane or ABS plastic(?) would be best for my needs. It would be great if you could also include a picture with your suggestions (price too?). And, I know this isn't the for sale forum, but since we're on the subject, if you have on for sale, post it too.

Thanks everyone!
Sorry I was babbling!

fyi - a front spoiler, functional or not, isn't factory, so you'd be bumped up in your autox class if you are currently in B-Stock.

I'm already ASP so that really doesn't matter to me, but thanks for the word of caution anyways.

I like that one, but like the other people, what is Fiber Reinforced Plastic? Is it durable like urethane, or does it splinter and crack like fiberglass?

And I don't think I'm going to do buisness with MG Racing anytime soon, at least untill all their issues are cleared up, so do you know anywhere else that might sell this piece?

Its made from Fiber Glass Reinforced Plastic and it is STRONG stuff!
Does not crack when struck...it can bend ever so slightly which is good because its better than cracking...

I've scraped underneath the lip a few times...still looks alright from the front if you are too worried about it being knocked out of place...

installation i left to the people who painted the lip...hence dunno if they had much difficulty in installing...
u will need to cut the fake air vents of the original front bumper tho...again...thats no biggie
