ID this front bumper?

Anyone know who makes this front bumper? And possibly where i can get parts for it. The piece on the bottom is messed up and I would like to replace it.
Thanks!

Probably this one:

I considered buying it at one time; the fiberglass made me nervous for a front end high scrape piece.

The Carbon Fiber replacement parts are listed at the bottom of the ad.

You can pay $$$ for Caractere or buy one exactly the same on Ebay with Extreme Motorsport or with Antonio in South Bay for a lot less.

If you look at the blown up pic, it actually says Caractere on the bumper

THANKS!
Although mine does not have the imprint of CARACTERE on it, that looks like it.
Yep, the fiberglass lower lip is getting torn up. It started with a little nick in it and then a track day at high speeds it's starting to chip away.
xtrememotorcars says $195 for the lower lip.
Can't find an Antonio in South Bay.

Chances are his bumper is aftermarket to start with The 2 bumpers identified had Caractere stamped on them although his doesn't. He can order the parts if they come with a decent return policy and check them for fitment or sketch it and send it to Extreme for comparison. If they fit, what's the difference as long as the quality is up to his standards? Extreme is a US based company not from China.

Yes, the bumper is aftermarket. It came with the car when I bought it. Question - is the fiberglass lower lip repairable?
