Default Euro Bumper Fiberglass Copy (Best Supplier)

I'm having some difficulty getting a true euro bumper. My car is in the bodyshop and they need the bumper to finish fixing her.

Who makes the best european fiberglass bumper here in the USA? I like the exact style of the euro bumper. I wouldn't mind if the bumper didn't have the rubber strip.

This is for a rear Euro style bumper.

iirc, and I've searched before, there are no exact copies of that style made here or in Europe. It's quite a complicated composite piece with intricate molding on the back and something like 20 embedded bolt threads to accept the light fittings. I doubt anyone could replicate it and not have to sell it for under $1k for the work involved.

GT Racing does one that has no light holes or rubber strip but that's about it.

I forgot to mention this is for the rear bumper not front.

Well I searched GT-Racing again and found that they now do list a Euro Front for $290. I am quite certain they do the rear also but cannot find it on the site, its a terrible site to navigate, give them a call.

944 Online has an factory piece with brackets and rubber for $595

I don't know how nice the Texas Performance bumper is compared to the GT Racing one. I would like it to look just like a Euro bumper without the rubber strip.

IFC. Straight bolt on, no crappy Euro brackets and no heavy US bumper shocks.
