New Front Bumper Cover

[CobaltFilly]

I am looking for a new front bumper cover, trying to decide which route to go. My base V6 front bumper is trashed, and needs replacement, so want to upgrade while im in there.

Building this car with future anticipation of track time trials, which bumper do you think might provide the most air flow for extra oil coolers, transmission cooling, brake cooling, and aerodynamic efficiency? All of my choices use polypropylene.

1. 777 performance Mach RS bumper
2. Mach 1 bumper with lower grille
3. LMR GT350 style front bumper

Or another choice you guys think of. All suggestions are welcome, thank you!

Just installed the 777 Mach 1 conversion on my son's car. Plenty of room for extra air flow but it uses the base fender well liners and belly pan so the end system will not match the aero benefits of the real performance models. The 777 kit was shipped from Ikon Motorsports and manufactured by AMPP, as are all the Chinese sourced knockoffs and replacement bumpers. Go with whoever has the best customer service to resolve shipping damage, defects, or missing parts. Our kit arrived without the lower air splitter and 777 had a replacement shipped within two days. Don't expect OEM fit an finish, the bumper took extra prep work to fill in molding imperfections prior to painting and frustrating delays in getting the fender gap at the wheel lip to fill in. Also the upper splitter "winglets" are impossible to properly mount on their brackets and to the bumper with the supplied hardware. The end result is fine and the price is right as long as you accept the polypropylene is about 0.3 mm thinner than OEM and overall quality is not up to OEM level. (However, these reverse engineered bumpers are still pretty clever, my spare OEM grill snapped perfectly into the 777 bumper.) Feel free to contact me if you go with the Mach 1 conversion and good luck on your project.
