need help choosing rear bumper

What do you guys think will go well for a different rear bumper to match the oem side skirts? The only one I think will be "ok" is the MS. But I would rather get something different...since it seems they are very popular. Any thoughts, pictures, etc would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alucard, ings looks good too, but I would melt it for sure with my agency power exhaust....

I need something that has an opening on the bottom of the the exhaust tips

oh, in that case nm as my exhaust shrouds are crap due to the exhaust. don't want to get new ones because of the obvious end result.

Legs is just about the same as the MS but it has an opening for the possible lower brake light area and it also has larger diffuser fins... but you can never go wrong with MS its just alot of people have it...

Thanks for the link. I really do like that one, was looking at it on japanparts.com. As far as the MS, I may have to go with it. Not that I don't like it, but just alot of people have it. But if it withstands the heat, I may have no choice.
