Front Bumper Opinion: Lip or Rookie?
^NP. and there you go posting so that i can drool over your car. Sitting low and flush, emblemless, rookie = WIN!. I've seen a blk sedan, emblemless, rookie and fog lights and it also looks good.
I like the rookie but i do so much driving. Do you not like the way the ings lip flows on the sedan?

The "horror" stories you are mentioning don't lend themselves to the Rookie bumper being low quality fiberglass, its quite the opposite. A couple people have hit things on the road would have absolutely thrashed other fiberglass bumpers, but the KuRookie held up very well given the circumstances and was able to be repaired with no issues.
The Kurookie does sit lower to the ground than an OEM bumper though so if you are lowered more than 2" you need to be especially mindful of this. But if you are sitting that low you are used to driving carefully in and out of driveways and over speedbumps.

^I posted what I did in response to what you mentioned about the "horror" stories about the bumper cracking. My point was that the fact that in those cases that the bumper only cracked and didn't completely shatter or break speaks to the high quality of the fiberglass. I just don't want people to get the wrong idea that the bumper is low quality and cracks easily.

Prob cause he already has this mold. Don't think Eric ever provided this lip for the 03-04 sedan.
Ok, Appreciate the feedback everyone. Here is the results so far. For those that mention two options i just added both to the list. I know in the end it will be my decision but just wanting to get everyone's opinion. Still debating...

I wonder if we could get a sedan rookie bumper made w/ polyurethane.
Sure, fiberglass is cheaper, but I know I would happily pay 2-300 more for the durable material, and pay up front for materials acquisition.

Good idea but not sure much ppl would be willing to pay $625 for a front bumper.
