I've been doing some research and I keep going back and forth on where to get my new front bumper. I like the idea of getting a MTech bumper from ebay but I'm not sure of which seller to purchase from. Bumpers range anywhere from $70-$300. I know to stay away from the dirt cheap ones, you get what you pay for, I get it. I'm nervous of the fitment, the cheap flimsy material, etc... Recommendations would be greatly appreciated if anyone has had experience with ebay purchases. I almost pulled the trigger on buying bumper from Umnitza as well - they can send me a new one delivered w/paint for about $400-$450. But I've heard that getting one prepainted is definitely not the way to go... Will the quality of the Umnitza bumper be the same as ebay? I'm having a hard time justifying buying one from the dealer - $700+ and then shelling out the $$$ for paint. As the case with most, I'm on a very small budget and I'm trying to find a balance. I'm fine with having the bumper painted but I'm absolutely torn! Help! Any and all insight would be greatly appreciated with this matter.

Cheers!

I purchased the M style front bumper and the lip from eBay. Will be making several calls to auto shops for estimates for paint. Most likely about $600 for just paint.
