997.1 4s front bumper options

I have been looking into changing out my front byumper and possibly other body parts on my 07 997.1 C4s. Does anyone have any suggestions? Im so indecisive on these thing's. Always need opinions and to look at a million different options. Here is the one I'm highly considering at this point, however I dont know if im willing to spend that much at this time haha!

Aero kit is the most common upgrade for body, and it really looks nice, even I don't feel anything different on my own aero kit...
Oh well...your front will be lower and kissing ground all the time if you don't pay attention: )

Looks nice but its a lot of coin to drop on a bumper. I would rather use that money on suspension and / or wheels. Possible engine upgrades as well. IMHO

Wow, $5600 plus paint for a bumper is super high in my opinion. I had no idea. That's halfway to a TPC turbo charger. I just added the GT3Tek front lip for like $800 painted and installed and I think it improved the front end just right. I like aero kits and bumpers as much as the next guy, but that's like 10% of the value of the car spent on a bumper. Now, if I got in a wreck and insurance was paying the first $3k of the job, I might pony up for the rest to get an upgrade.

Front

When I did mine, changed easily to a used TT bumper complete w lights, added the smile grill as well. Same thing listed here now, cheap too.
