whats the best looking 04-05 front bumper? opinions!

Let me know what u think the best looking 04-05 front bumper is. Pictures make the thread!

I recently hit an animal and being so low it f'ed up my front bumper so might as well go with a new front bumper... idk if i want to go OEM or not... lmk what u guys think!

this is how the car currently looks minus the paint cracking and whatnot...

If you are low to mess up the oem bumper I wouldn't go aftermarket as I think most hang lower than oem

My personal favorite is oem bumper with cusco or jdm lip

depends on how rice youd like to look =). keep it og and oem. if anything, cut out the black molding inside the front duct ( like the way people with fmic do it ) and then just get fog covers or jdm fogs and make a custom lip. maybe add some lip pins for aggressiveness. thats my plans! lol

Yep. Get some fog light covers with no sti markings, sti bumper splitters, and a black front lip. Looks like money!

i added a picture of the car prior to animal annihilation... and i am not a fan of the cusco front lip! it has those squared corners when the car has no real sharp edges... to me it just doesnt fit... i currently have a v-limited replica front lip with debadged fog light covers and in my current bumper i am already missing the black shroud from previous owner having a front mount. so i custom made an expanded metal grille that i fitted to the car... you can see all of this in the picture that i have in the OP.
