Default can anyone help?

i have to get a new front bumper for my car. the old one is no good, cracked and ripped. so, i am either going to go with the gt bumper, or the stalker bumper (i like the stalker at the moment).

which one should i go with?

i was looking on ebay for one, and i found 2 at good prices. there was one made by a company named vis racing sports, and i know nothing of the company, im not sure if anyone on here could back their company up or not. and there was a bumper made by a company named duraflex, and i feel the same about this company as vis.

here are the links to the 2 bumpers on ebay.

the 1 made by vis racing sports (187.50+160.00 shipping):

heres the one made by duraflex (225.00+150.00 shipping):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-...3756.m20.l1116


What i want to know is, will either of these bumpers fit right, without any modifications? the reason i ask is, i had a problem with my rear bumper fitment, we had to fab up some brackets for it, and i dont want to have to do that with the front bumper also.

any help is appreciated very much!

my experience with most aftermarket parts is there is always some degree of modding to do.....heck the larger aluminum quote un quote direct fit radiator I bought required bracket mods and core support holder mods to make it work[:'(]
