Vertex is definitly the best of the 3, The Re-A one looks stupid, not to mention it doesn't look like much air can get into the engine bay to cool your motor down. I don't know what kind of mods you have but if you are heavily modded, look into getting a bumper that has a wider opening for air to get to your intake, radiator, oil coolers. Thats just my opinion.....

Least of the evils is the Vertex. I wouldn't mind the Vertex as much if it didn't have those stupid raised portions on the outside of the bumper (canards?).

All those bumpers look like **** to me. Bunch of ducts & scoups, pointless.
Probably need to add a big *** rear wing & carbon hood to finish "the look"
Oh yea, 19" rims too!

$599 for a 4 piece kit huh? Anyone want to wager what that's going to fit like? I guess it couldn't be any worse fitting than the knockoffs that a certain person on here and the especially the NP forums sells.

Go stock or 99, those will last longer, fit better and look better in the long run than anything else.

and i would get the bomex but for some reason it sticks out alot!
but everyone seems to go with the vertex so thats what im going for.
FYI the bumper comes 2 ways. either with the canards or without!

I've always been a fan of the Peter Farrell front bumper. It seems it was made (originally?) by Knightsport and also copied by Erebuni.

stock or 99 here too...
but if you really want a front bumper from those choices,
i would go with the Vertex without the canards.
The new Vertex 7 peice wide body isnt that bad.

PFS looks best & it gest a lot of air into the engine compartment. Ray Wilson at PFS is selling them again.
Then the 99 spec.
If you must have one of the three you mentioned, I suppose the Vertex.
