New Front Bumper
Last week I was backing my eclipse out of my drive way and my bumper got stuck on my curb....needless to say, the bumper was torn off my car like a can of sardines.....should I go stock bumper or body kit bumper? What are the advantages of one or the other? Is it really worth the extra bucks for that "special" bumper?

RE: New Front Bumper
the only problem i have is body kits weight is more than stock more material is used to make it. second the stock bumber out of the autoboy catolog are like $500 new. a body kit is $150 for bumber i have found a lot of them at that price so depending on if u like the style of a kit bumper. if so get it. the other question is if u buy a new bumper from mitsu or you could go interstate"about $100 less" but do u want to pay that price tag?

I can't stand aftermarket bumper kits because I had so many problems with it. Whether it's from bottoming out in the ****ty montreal road or crack on the fiber glass when it's cold. My bumper was completely f*cked i shoudl have taken a picture of it so you know how bad it was. Depending on where you live you might not have the same problem as me. I just switched to stock bumper for my 98 eclispe yesterday and I so far liked it a lot better. STICK IT TO STOCK
ON THAT NOTE, I WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME THE MATERIAL THAT IS MADE OUT OF THE STOCK BUMPER. IS IT COMPLETLEY URETHANE OR IS THERE A PLASTIC COVER OVER IT.
THANX
