okay, so my front bumper is fucked. so i need a new one that aint gonna put a hole in my wallet. i like the evo3 style bumper but its fiberglass and i hear urethane is better cuz it gives more and wont crack as easily. so if anyone could direct me to a good place your help will be more than appreciated

I have the wings west avenger front bumper, which is urethane, and it's taken quite a few good hits from steep driveways. It shiws no sign of cracking at all. I had to re-bend the two supports underneath it a few times, but like I said, it's holding up well. Urethane is definately the way to go IMHO.

Most of the aftermarket bumper covers you buy are urethane.
All of the euro bumper covers are ABS plastic, which is good.
I like the svtf bumper covers alot, and batinc sells them for like $350, that is a good price. They also sell the euro bumper covers for abou the same price. The only reason I point these out is you know they will fit perfect because they are OEM. I have hear some stories about aftermarket bumper cover not fitting well.
I have also hear that the WW stuff fits like OEM.

Yes indeed, everything should swap to an SVT bumper except the lower grille and foglights.

Although if I'm not mistaken, you order the bumper from BAT and get things like those with it, so you don't have to buy them separate?
