Going with close to what I have. I do not want a fiberglass or CF one. I forget the exact name of the stuff I am using but it is 2 thin pieces of aluminum with a composite material in the middle.

Our shop Mini cooper has been on track with this stuff doing 140 MPH and it held up great.

I love it. My buddy put one on his car off of a Corvette. I saw this in last years ipd catalog on a black 850. I want one on my car. Watch out for parking blocks.

LOL well for now when I get the support bars on it will pull it back together some to help repair this one for the daughters car. I also see a new bumper in the future for yellow.
