RX8 Front Bumper 09

Hey there guys, I have a 09, rx8 and I was wondering if anyone can link me to a front bumper thats around $280 or less? My current one got messed up after being hit by a retard that was trying to parallel park in nyc. I walked out and saw he dented/scratched up my front bumper, no other damage was done to it, and its not that bad. I was just wondering if There was any bumper out there for that cheap? It would just be a temp, and It doesnt have to be oem.

Why would you spend money on a temporary bumper?

Where are you located? Is shipping an issue?

You can pick up brand new OE for about $350, plus shipping, needs painting though.

Well the oem bumper looks like complete ****, the mazdatrix is essentially a R3 bumper with a lip, when have lips been rice?

thats my opinion though, like what ash said. I cant stand the 09+ front bumpers.

EDIT: heres one painted for the SARX crew.

It's an ugly ricey lip. It's like having a deck on the front of the car. Looks like crap. My opinion.

Remove the offending lip and it would look ok.

Too bad we don't have snow to plow in Phoenix, AZ, otherwise I'd consider that bumper. Or not.

Sorry man, as mentioned before, that looks like a ledge in front of the car. I think I'll stick with the stock bumper and the tested and functional splitter that came with it.
