Bumpersss...

Help me out with some bumper choices guys... I crashed my FD as some of you know, and I need a new front bumper. Here's my current choices... (keep in mind i'm looking for something in the below $400 range)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-...Q5fAccessories

this one seems kinda promising, aside from the fact that it has 99+ lights which i figure will run me another $70 minimum... and if i want blacked out ones $200? Ouch... not within my range but... anyone have experience with this kinda material? the videos look almost like it is similar to polyurethane, yet not soooo convincing.

and this one is what i'm really kinda looking for...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...Q5fAccessories

also has the 99+ lights on it... but it seems almost like a good stock replacement.
problem with these both is the rebar... will have to be cut in order to fit the lights. I wouldn't mind the chopping but does anyone have any opinions on these? I'm kinda leaning towards the bottom one even though I'll hate to run it without a lip cuz it's a bit skinny, but also If anyone has suggestions as to where I can purchase the bumper lights at a decent price for i'm all ears!

Thanks!

well since you're the only one that responded I might as well let you know I chose the 2nd one. Hopefully no modification will have to be done to my rebar or anything... It looks really good! I'll post pics in the 3rd gen section when my car's done

why not just save and get a real 99 spec bumper. IMO the ebay bumper seems way to cheap. You get what you pay for if you dont want to do it twice do it right the first time.

if it's polyurethane the quality is not gonna suffer as long as the fit is ok. ebay bumpers are usually crap because they are mostly fiberglass like most other crap body kits/bumpers. I'm ok with my choice i think it'll look really good
