    Best affordable aftermarket Bumper option

    Since my car isn't 90% track anymore, i'm in need of cleaning up a few things on it. Biggest being the front and rear bumpers.

    The front bumper, stock, has seen better days and had brake cooling ducts installed, now left with a gaping big hole, lol. The rear bumper partially melted and the 'diffuser' is long gone.

    Now there is a myriad of options out there regarding aftermarket bumpers for our cars. I'm in no way a body/paint/exterior guy, so i'm looking for some input from you guys.

    The car is far from pretty, it'll still go to the track, and the fitment doesn't have to be perfect, but i'd rather get something half-way decent that won't fall off when doing 130+ at road Atlanta (looking at you, aftermarket CSL splitter...)

    Bumper wise, i'll probably just go for a CSL rep, since those are fairly popular and easy to come by. If it's stock, that works too. Rear bumper, whatever is available, really :P

    Thank you very much!

    You have a few options for front bumpers ranging in price. If it's a track car I'd just grab another OE one in decent shape and rattle can it yourself.

    Rear bumper options do not exist. So OE is your best bet. If you don't have a diffuser, this might be a good time to experiment with a full flat diffuser for your track car. Just a thought.

      you can't go wrong with OE euro front and OE rear imo. also, inquire with the aftermarket CSL bumper makers to see if they actually have any in stock. selling the bumper is one thing, having any to ship to you seems to be another story altogether.

      if you want something non cookie cutter, CWest and Varis are japanese companies that make quality styling parts
