Aftermarket Front Bumper

If you had to choose between the Corksport Type II front bumper and the GP Sports bumper, which would you choose? Corksport is 399 and GP is like 6** something.

wow, i was the first to vote... and i'll be the first to say, they're both not very pleasing to my eye. but i chose the CS one. it looks more in-tune with the lines of the rest of the car.

Don't really like either of them. They are too agressive for me.

well, those are the only bumpers i have found that look good to me. the GP sports is definately more extreme but i don't think it's too much.

to me, Bomex looks like *** but a lot of people seem to like it. i want a bumper that still incorporates the FTP's and pop up headlights. that silver corksport car looks tight but i'm not sure if the bumper is enough. there aren't enough views of it to really get a good picture of what the car will look like as a whole.

do you have an S4 or S5? i think both will look like doodoo if you have an S4 unless you do extra body work. the black trim piece wont look right. i like the bomex, but hate how the little strip along the side of the car doesn't flow onto their product. faux pas.

do the FTP lenses not fit in the CS bumper? FCs look so, for lack of a better term, 'ghetto' without them.

I have an S4 but seriously plan on getting S5 trim pieces or at least painting mine body color. I have S5 tails and mirrors. I like the way the S5 front looks with the lip. I feel the corksport/border bumper has a cleaner look with the lip molded in.
