Need help Picking a new front bumper...

Ok so i was parked in Boston over the summer, and i guess someone backed into my front bumper pretty hard, and bent it in pretty bad. My car is in the shop now, and i need to find a new front bumper.

My current bumper is the Octane in Urethane. but the problem is that they dont make that bumper in urethane anymore, they only made 6 of them total.

So should i get the same bumper in fiberglass? any suggestions on bumpers would be great.

Thanx

You should stick to urethane as much as possible. Too bad they only made six. However, if you're trying to maintain a certain look then it doesn't seem like you have much of a choice.
