Switching Front bumpers any ideas?

So my front bumper is starting to crack and get a lot of pressure breaks so since i am getting a nice tax return this year i figure lets get a new one. i have narrowed it down to 2 choices the stock bumper with Greddy lip shaved, or the techno R bumper. Also i dint want to keep the same color so i am thinking or going with Audi A4 Blue. I am open to any ideas and comments ill post what bumper i have now as well.

Techno R

Greddy Lip

I would keep it stock with oem lip kit. I think its the cleanest look for the lude.

What ever you go with don't shave it on. coming from personal experience. It will cause nothing but problems if something ever struck it. greddy,oem,wwrs are better than the techno bumper IMO

first thing that came to mind.

if it's not a show car, the thing will chip and crack from all the road vibrations over time. unless you physically mold the lip to the bumper and not just bondo over the seams.
