Front Bumper Choices

The search continues for the perfect front bumper for my turbo. My favorite is the Techart Type II. But at nearly 7k I am havin a tough time pulling the trigger. Definitiely DON"T want any imitations. Anyone have a used one for sale? Suggestions on vendor with best prices?

Front bumpers

Those Techarts II are sweet. I just can't imagine spending that kind of cash on a part the has the highest potential for damage (i.e. getting hit, big dips, shopping carts, etc.). I too have been looking for the same bumper. What is the biggest downside of buying a cheaper non-Techart bumper? To me they all look very similiar.

GT2 is my favorite, keeps the stock look but makes the car look more sporty.

Call Arling at Lucent...he gave me the best deal...and significantly less than what you posted.
