It's time that I get a new bumper
My front bumper is destroyed now.. it split where the crack is because I am riding pretty low for where I live. The bumpers flimsy and it's a replica anyways, so I'm thinking of either repairing it or getting a new one.
Suggestions?
Here's a picture of the car

Which brand is that bumper? If you are going to tear it up again you might just want to get another replica bumper. I personally am a big fan of the vertex bumper, the old one i had was really thick and held up threw all the punishment i delivered.
Even if you fix this one, if the fiberglass is super flimsy you'll tear it up again in no time.

Car is clean, I like that bumper on it. You should buy a AC replica and install the quick disconnects on your car for both bumpers.

get oem with lip, your car is too nice for a fake front bumper. Plus, only 80% of the club has a fake AC kit, be different

Aren't AC replica kits flimsy also?
Do the AIT ones and the Shine Auto ones differ a lot in material and durability?

get an OEM front bumper, and just add a lip.
looks 10x's cleaner than any aftermarket front bumper junk.
