Debating a new front bumper cover, opinions please!
I have three to choose from:
This is my car with the Viper front. I love the look of it but it's fiberglass and it isn't made in urethane. I have already repaired and repainted it once in the short time I've had it.
This is the Octane front, I love the look of this one also and I can get it in urethane. Only negative is that I can't use the same upper grill I have right now with it and I love the way my grill looks.
This is the Xenon front. I think it looks ok but I like the look of both of the others more. It is also urethane and I can use my upper grill with it plus the rest of my kit is Xenon urethane already.
So please tell me what you think!!

Rep Power: 0 i don't think the octane would look right with the rest of the kit. xenon will flow better. the bomex front is fiberglass. i think the kaminari bumper will also look good, it looks similer to the viper only cleaner plus you can save your grill. that would be my choice.

Rep Power: 0 I think the new bomex bumper looks hot. I also like the one Hawk posted, i think that may be the buddy club 2 kit....but its fiberglass. If it was me i'd probably get the xenon bumper to match everything else.

Rep Power: 0 There's the BC2 kit I dont think it's the same as the white one posted earlier.
The octane front is nice but alot of ppl have it that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on you. The xenon kit in pictures looks like **** but looks good in person so either way you can't go wrong and both are urethane so it's all good.

I like your car....and I understand about your fiberglass dilemma. I like the Octane front bumper, but not the Xenon. Have you looked at the Tsunami T-2001 bumper? Pretty nice. Here's a pic.

Rep Power: 351 Well I definitely like the look of the viper the best for sure. But the fiberglass is just way too much maintenance, it just doesn't hold up very well. It doesn't take much to get a chip or a crack and pretty soon it looks like ***. I think I'm going to do a chop of the xenon and the octane and post them when I get a chance to just to see how they'll both look on my car. I'm kind of leaning towards the xenon though.
