    Any Good Non-OE Front Bumpers?

    The stock bumper on my ‘05 Is a little scuffed and cracked. It looks like an OE replacement is about $650. are any non-OE front bumpers decent? I’d rather keep a cracked and rock-chipped bumper that fits well than get a nice shiny non-oe unit that fits weird.

    any brands/vendors/advice is appreciated.

    You’re best off getting an OEM bumper.
    $650 is pretty reasonable, and anything for less will likely be a dice roll in terms of quality and fitment.

      If you want an OEM style bumper, I'd recommend getting an OEM bumper. You could also get a used one and have it repainted - you can find them for a couple of hundred bucks on eBay/craigslist.

      If you want a CSL style, Mile End Composites makes an excellent replica and is probably the only CSL style other than OEM that has an excellent fit and finish.

        Does anyone know of an aftermarket OE style front bumper? I need one for my track car and will have to poke holes in it. I'm OK with a meh fitting aftermarket bumper.

          if you were in MD, I’d sell you my OE one that’s scraped at the bottom, dirt cheap — buy a used one for a track car.

          Just some old shitty cars.

            I’ve seen some reconditioned bumpers for about $365 shipped. I might call and ask...doesn’t sound bad at all.
