Which rear bumper looks best??

Hey fellas, rough day for my P-car today... Cold tires made me slide and just grazed the rear bumper on a divider scuffing the $#it out of the rear and ruining my left side exhaust tips..Hood stuck closed, this picture really does not do much justice- Looks a lot worse in person.(terrible blackberry photo in dark garage) I need a new bumper and want info and more important ideas on rears.. Im thinking GT2 rear from factory, or maybe the wide affect Techart makes... Pictures welcomed.
Vendors please help!

IMHO TechArt Aerokit II is the best looking rear bumper you can get! Please see:

The GT2 rear bumper uses the older tail lights - from your picture it appears you have upgraded to LEDs.

GT2RS bumpers are designed for the LEDs, but require modifications to the intercooler shroud to fit (as they are designed for the newer ICs.)

I think it was Mooty who changed his to the Euro (RoW?) factory bumper support and cover. Fit and quality is, well, factory. Also lost about 13lbs, and the ugly Dagmar bumperettes. With paint, the whole deal was about $3k. I believe all parts were gotten from his local dealer. Look it up here @GT3 board.

Here's a GT2-RS rear on a Turbo. Looks great, and it's an easy OEM upgrade.

Still have yet pulled the trigger.. Any opinions on a GT3RS rear bumper? It will match my gt3rs wing well; I know I would have to re-route my exhaust, would this be an option for me? Any one do this?

Just a bump- Im going gt3 RS rear with re-routing my exhaust, followed by the Tech Art front bumper while im at it, saving me a trip to the paint shop in the near future... Its exciting; had to post, pics to follow late next week.

I know this has been done before, but I've wondered if there any ill effects by eliminating the outlets for the intercoolers?

I have wondered the same, my tech said we would just have to mount the intercooler ducts to fit the new bumper. It seems plenty ventilated and dont think it should affect it much. Ill be sure to data log to have some certainty that there is no negative assumptions.
