WV alternative bumper covers for your SA/FB

I have a blasted fbc with torn urethane and a junk turn signal mount, some octogenarian with poor depth perception and selective hearing decided to back his silveraydo into my car while I was working. dick. SO, I need a new fbc. looking into changing out to something different. the available fbc's that replace the existing one just really dont call out to me that much. at best, the mariah one with the built in bumper would be my favorite, but not that cost effective.

been thinking porsche or even bmw E30 flavors. something flat at the top, squared off for the vintage look, but with some nice aero underneath and open cooling room for radiator AND brakes.

so, what has anyone tried out that worked out well for them??

I seen one that had a late 90s integra front. Looked pretty cool and fit well.

I've seen pics of some with the Porsche 928 (or 944?) front bumper cover. Looks decent.

WV for your perusal

these two 1st gens are inspiration. the blue looks like the aftermarket FC with flush headlights, the dark color looks like a porsche fitment maybe oem grafted in.
