Best quality 1M replica front bumper?

I am yet again having to replace the front bumper on my 1 after a botched installation of my most recent one. After seeing the hassle of doing a full legit 1M front end conversion (side skirt issues) I figured I would look into a 1M rep front bumpers but I'm not sure which brand/vendor has the best one. A better question may be if any of the brands are of decent quality? or are they all sub-par? I'm looking for something that's going to be close to OEM quality.

I just received a 1m rep. bumper from **********sDOTcom. Im going to have it painted this week and installed next week. brzguy on instagram has it installed and the fitment looks great. (Thats where I saw it originally). It's also made of polypropylene which is the same material the OEM bumper is made of!

It's dirt cheap and I need to paint my old bumper and hood anyway. Anyone have a review on this?

Same here, even if you turn them into some kind of brake duct they just look out of place. So it looks like Rieger and the off brand one w/ fog light holes are the only two??
