What, you mean like stealing one? Just because you want something, doesn't mean it should be priced so you can afford it. Don't forget, you'll have to have signal lights, a lip spoiler, and have it painted too.
What's wrong with the stock front end? Don't you have bigger priorities than an aftermarket bumper at your age?

It really scares me how a lot of guys drive around w/ aftermarket bumpers and no re-bar. Granted, if you get in an accident in the FD, pure odds say the damage will be so great that a re-bar wouldn't have made a difference. But when we're talking about frame damage (practically permanent) from a stupid minor fender bender, why risk it?

just smash your car into a street sign or a cement wall or something, and go to the insurance company. Tell them that someone back into you and file a claim . Go to the dealership get a authentic 99 spec and be happy all you have to do is pay the deductible of 500 dollars or something. The STOCK front bumper looks awesome dont change it that how the car is suppose to be. LOL please dont take my idea.

Get an RE plateless replica nose for $500, and replica signals for $175. You don't need the rebar. You don't need a new undertray. Depending on your oil cooler setup, you may need ducts for those. You will also need to do a little sealing around the radiator if you track it... just as you do for the 93-95, just a little different.
Your only other cost will be labor for fitment, and paint. The RE DID need some fitment work... it wasn't, and isn't perfect. I paid about $800 for the instal/paint from a guy who is good, and did a good job. If you get an OE piece, it will cost more to buy, but cost less to fit because it bolts on perfectly.
