I don't understand the point of your post. It seems like you are only looking for a new bumper for aesthetic reasons. If so, just pick whichever one you like the looks of the best. I don't know what we're supposed to tell you. As far as fitment goes, the Mazdaspeed stuff will have the best fitment.

Go with the Veilside. Not the new one, but the CI.

Get in on the Pettit group buy for the plateless 99 spec, with the money you save get the Mazdaspeed CF 99 spec lip. Can you say "sharp"?

I like the GTC bumper. Huge openings for oil coolers, radiator, and intercooler. Also has the front lip spoiler built into the bumper.

i agree with volley1, the GTC bumper is extremely functional with extremely large openings, and it looks great too.
