I feel you man.

I cracked mine not that long ago too.

Need to find a new one.

Mother Nature is a vindictive *****, that's for sure.

As said, SS/SC bumper is the same as the SS/NA bumper with the addition of the lip. This is the only bumper I'd go with, any aftermarket one isn't going to look great with the rest of your stock 2.4 kit. My $0.02.

my advice... if you're putting on a different front bumper than stock, get the whole body kit. it will look rediculous with just a front bumper. some people may disagree, but they're called ricers

if you're going to do it, do it right. if you can't afford a body kit, just got a regular ole oem bumper.

did you factor in the price of the lip as well? because i'm pretty sure the bumper comes with all the tabs in it to put the lip on. meaning if you don't put the lip on, you will have a bunch of holes running along your bumper

i have an ss/sc, yesterday i hit a curb pulling out of my friends driveway and one side of my front lip just popped it out a bit. so basically its just loose and not cracked. looks like it would just take glue to make it normal again, but i doubt its that simple. can anyone help me here?

silicone. it won't damage your paint. clamp it with wooden clamps or c-clamps with wooden blocks covered in rags to protect your paint. if you ever feel the need to take it off again the silicone peels right off.
