If you are looking for polyurethane just get a "REAL" 99 spec and have a competent body shop shave off the bumper plate.

I have a RE poly replica and the body shop had to really work to make it fit right, at the end of the day they said it would had been much easier to go the OEM route and just shave of the plate.

Rotary Extreme originally made these but JF racing ripped them off. Am not even sure if anyone still makes poly 99 bumpers I did a quick search and came up with nothing.

i know about those others what i'm more worried about if I have to do major body work. I have bought cheap knock offs before and end up spending more in bodywork than I would have if I had bought the original. which is why I was asking if anyone might have either of raceon usa or extreme dimensions bumpers. I know raceon usa quality is good but fitment dont know? anyone else know of any others I'd appreciate it.

I believe the raceon usa bumper comes from the same mold as the JF racing = same mold as Rotary extreme.

I have the RaceOnUSA bumper on my car. Fit was crap coming out of the box, but after playing with it for a while I was able to get it to fit pretty well. Ive no idea what a body shop would charge. It certainly wasnt hard to get it to fit right though. This was the first attempt at anything body work wise I've ever attempted.

^ That looks very clean... though it sounds like it took some tweaking.... I will likely buy the one from Pettit.
