Default front bumper suggestions?

my front bumper is in pretty shitty shape front the original owner. the bottom is cracked a bit and scratched, and you can tell its been repaired from a minor impact on the top of it.

I've been looking at whats out there and everything seems a little on the extreme side. I think the one that I like best is the mugen ss knock-off:


any other ideas that are on par with the price/quality of oem bumper?

I wasn't sure if it would look that bad

I guess oem is best, then.

I agree...may as well go O.E. AP2 front while your at it. It's a lot nicer than the O.E. AP1 front IMO.

Yeah, I scrapped the front of mine today on one of those parking blocks. I don't know why I pull in so close, the car is short as it is. Anyway, I'd really like to get a lip myself, AP1 OEM to cover the scratches and give it a nice look.

That Mugen bumper/knockoff looks way too happy for my tastes. A little too much like that animated Cars movie.

I love the J's type S without the canards, but damn it's pricey.
