I think it's pretty ridiculous that people buy one of the most expensive kits, then destroy it on a drift course.

Everyone uses the GP Sports kit. Or whoever makes it.

I'll stick with my favorite bumpers. OEM.

IMO the best looking front for the FC... It just fits the design and body lines of the FC so well. I will buy this bumper, some day(damn expensive...).

Because you aren't asking for help or information on HOW to install one. Just asking what ones are out there.

i put on draw tight latches on my front bumper cover. and hooked up quick disconnects on the wires to the turn signals. and i cut holes in the bumber for air flow as well as gutted the middle grill. added a custom lip taken from a chevy truck. now my front bumper cover comes off in a matter of seconds. good for drifting by maxaving the air flow to keep it cool. and yes the bumper stays on good i drive on the highway often and ive been over 135 mph to test it lol
