Which front bumper should I get?

While the car is being painted I want to put a new front bumper on
I don't like the old turb lamps as much as the new ones and if I don't do it now I will never get a new front end

Please help me pick out one with the new 99 spec turn lamps and also post pictures of what you are advising.

I have read that the copy of the spirit R bumper is 250 but it is cheaply made of course and I'm not in love with that one really.

Show me the baddest *** front end with new turn lamps!!

appreciate your input

I read somewhere on the forum when I did a search before I posted this that someone was interested in buying that $250 bumper and cutting off the bottom that makes it look bumb and then putting a 99 spec chin spoiler on there and then it would look exactly like the 99 spec front end wouldnt it?
except just made out of a different material

wow that border type 4 or 5 would do it for me!!
they are both 768 bucks though and I don't think that includes the turn lamps but if it does I'll gone one of those!
Yeah I like the feed type 2 replica also but its too expensive

hmmmm $750 is too much for the feed replica, but the $768 for the border is ok??? No, that doesn't come with the lamps-either bumper. Plus you will have to try and buy it and then get it shipped = $$$ plus you will wait 2 months or so. You might try here http://www.jt-imports.com/ or look under the vendors section and under jt imports, and you can ask him a question.

Hey thanks for the smart *** reply
its alright you made up with it with the help
I was thinking the one for 768 would have the turn lamps
I am just looking for any bumper with the new turn lamps now
it can be new or used any condition because its being repainted no major cracks or anythign though

if someone has one for sale let me know

I don't think any of the fronts include the 99' spec front lights. I think on all of them you'll need to get the lights separate.

Don't quote me though...
