Even the Mazda speed (GTC) bumpers are fiberglass. The only ones out there that are plastic (urathane) are the OEM 93-95, and the OEM 99-spec.

INGS+ and CWest now have versions of their bumpers made with a flexible resin fiberglass... they aint' cheap though, and while there are flexible when bent or twisted, i have no idea how they would hold up to impacts, like road/parking lot transitions and stuff like that.

I still think that Border bumper is the best looking bumper besides the stock 93-95 bumper (with a lip) available. However, I don't like the '99 spec lights so I would look into the version with the stock 93-95 front marker lamps:

that ones actually pretty cool! i sepecially like the hood , do you actually have a cooler engine compartment now or is it mostly for looks? i want a bumper with better flow than the stock 93-95 bumper for a little project that im slowly working on... but yeah air flow is a major consideration.
