Front bumper cracked... Need advice for aftermarket Bumper and/or Kit???

Yes, I rear ended a truck a few days ago and the front bumpers crack on the passenger side. I wanted to get a new bumper but UP-GRADING is always an option... What options do I have and post pics of your front bumper up-grades if you have them... Also Urethane or Fiberglass??? Whats better and why?

I personally like the look of the stock 97+ bumpers with a stillen front lip.

Urethane bumpers are more preferable since they are more flexible, durable, and more damage resistant. Fiberglass bumpers are less flexible, so they generally are more easily broken/damaged.

You could get a replacement at say a Junkyard.

you could get a kit Skyline, M Bumper, and others.

I would recommend a poly Urethane as they are much more flexible and can take good hits and not damage (paint maybe). I've always herd to stay away from Fiber Glass Kits, I believe its simply Due to if your hit some one or something it wil break and you'll need to replace.

Parking on these NYC streets I think Poly Urethane is a must... Would a painted front bumper be ok for a body shop to repaint another color? I like the stillen lip aswell... Molded would be nice...
