I am looking to replace the 916 bumper on my recently rear ended 914 and had a few questions on the 916 bumpers that are out there. First, how many different 916 style bumpers are available? I have seen quite a few out there with some substantial differences. Second, which is the more "correct" style? Are there more then one manufacture for the specific styles and is there a difference in quality between styles and manufactures?

From what I have found so far, the bumper currently on my car appears to be most similar to the one performance products sells, with the smaller angled, center depression and fitted for cars without flares. QRS fiberglass appears to sell a similar design but fitted for cars with flares. I found a third type at AA that that has a wider and more rectangular depression, a cut out at the base, and a steeper angle across the top. Are there other types out there? I have read the bumper performance sells takes a lot of fitting to install, is the AA bumper better in this regard? Does anyone have a personal preference of one over the other?

Thanks
