kenstyle rear bumper

What the best place now-a-days to buy a Kenstyle rear bumper? I'm having a hard time finding one w/o the whole body kit. I found one here autosportz . The problem is, the Kenstyle bumper there is $850 which seems kinda expensive. There is also a "Type KS" bumper there that looks the same as the "Kenstyle" one, but is only $650. So whats the difference, why is the one cheaper? Is there a cheaper place to buy the KS bumper elsewhere?

These are the kenstyle replica that I sell. As you can see from the pictures, there are very small or little gaps and has excellent fitment. If you are interested, you can pm me for more information.

Isn't the original Kenstyle urethane? And the knock offs fiberglass?

I'm not sure, anyone care to chime in?

that and on the front bumper there's the foglights and emblem that will be missing. the emblem is a small detail but the foglights make the bumper. I know you can fit fogs on the replica but you can't aim them properly and you have to fiberglass them in so you will probably end up with permanently misaligned foglights.

check out this thread:

for the replica, the quality seems to have faded and the company that makes the replica KS has pretty bad customer service and just got kicked off this forum and the my350 forum...
