Arrow New Bumper!!!!

Well do to some unforeseen things happening this morning due to a slow to learn offspring I'm in the market for a new bumper.

I already have gone through quite a few bumpers:

1) Oem w/ front oem lip
2) Oem with Ings Inserts
3) Nismo
4) Kuruma-z


I love the Kurumaz and would buy it again but i want to change up the car a little.
I have a set of KS side skirts I'm going to throw on at the same time.

So I'm looking for some guidance on where I should head next.
I'm in no hurry since my car is still drive-able and the bumper only has a crack so I can live with it until after winter.

I would love it if someone either made the Inven bumper or the APR Non widebody, Chargespeed is ok but no opening for my dual intakes.
There are plenty of pics of my car through the forum so people already know what my car looks like.

Any suggestions??

Don't think I haven't given it thought all day while I was at work.

Maybe for a 2009 GTR then we can talk.

Don't like anything aggressive like the Greddy and the KS.

One criteria must be Urethane.

once urethane is bent in anyway..you can't fix it...you might be able to mend it a little by heating it up.

but holes..tears...say goodbye to the bumper.

Well lets put it like this.

I told my son to start up the car in the morning while I get dressed so the car can warm up.
I always tell him to make sure the shifter is loose.
Well guess what it was in first.
I have a tool table at the end of my garage and I have foam on the legs so I know I'm all the way in.
Anyway the car lurches forward and hits the corner of the table and cracks the foam in half and moved the table leg in that corner a good foot or so.
The bumper is toast.
It's cracked right where it bends upward where its most rigid.
I'll take pics tomorrow.

Right now my choice is still Kurumaz unless someone makes the Inven or the APR in non widebody form.
I drive my car daily to my office and don't need anything aggressive.
