Question 99spec Front Bumber comparison

I am looking to get the 99 spec front bumper and I can't decide if I should get the authentic 99spec front with the licensce plate area or the replica without the front licensce plate part. Let me know what you think on comparisons. thanks

Looks-wide, it's no contest.

The liscense block looks like ***... particularly if you run no front plate. If you're absolutely going to run a front plate no question, then i guess it's not too bad.

The only other thing to consider is fit. No aftermarket part will EVER fit as well as a genuine OEM part.

Is the fitment on the aftermarket bumper with no license plate have a really difficult fit and is not easily replaced?

It's a pain like most any other aftermarket part.... just take it to a good body guy who knows what he's doing and works with urathane. I love mine now that it's on, but the fitment/paint cost me about $800 FWIW.
