Front bumper.....where to buy?

My baby was attacked by someone else's car 2 weeks ago and the front bumper is pretty messed up. Plus, it is a S4 front bumper and I want something a little more aggressive.

I was thinking about either a S5 stock bumper or else going aftermarket.

I have a couple hundred I can sink into this project ($300-400 shipped). I have a quote for $144 to re-paint the front bumper or a S5 bumper with painted trim to match my car. Same price either way. I am sure that I can bring an aftermarket bumper as well.

So my total should be around $500 if possible.

Where would you go to buy your front bumper? Ideally I would like a place close to MI so shipping is cheap and hopefully less time for the shipping company to damage the bumper while in transit.

I am not a big fan of the Bomex front end....kind of light my FTP and molding....I think it would look strange to have black molding all along the side of the car and no molding on the front or rear bumper....

The erebuni kit looks nice, but it is a little pricey before shipping for my blood. I would love to get a full kit though..........will consider it.

Edit: However, I did notice that the Erebuni kits can be sold seperately.....hmmmm

I have the corksport version (to poor for anything else) of the Border type 2 bumper. It was about $400 plus another 100 for shipping or so. Beats having a stock bumper, but you'll need to find the S5 turn signals at a junkyard somewhere.
