Default 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.

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