Anyone know of a good quality non oem CSI lower bumper? ECS Tuning has the original for around $850. Would prefer not to spend that much if I don't have to.

Fitment can be a problem.

I was happy when I saw ECS selling them just under $800!
I was looking to spend above 1k for sure just for a shell, plus extra stuff like clips, covers and etc.
As many suggested already, just get an OEM, you will never regret it. If you can't spend that much yet, then keep it stock for now, it is still very pretty.

I would look into an OEM as well. Not just for the fitment issues, but it is also not made of fiberglass. A fellow 8er hit an animal on the interstate coming to an event, and it dented the CSi spoiler in. But, he was able to pop it out (the dent was about the size of a football on the corner). That would not happen with fiberglass.

Nice lead! I looked this guy up and people who've purchased from him seem very happy with the product. Price is right too.
I am leaning towards the OEM but has anyone actually installed one? Any feedback?

That's not cool. Why would someone hit an animal? I'm def not planning on mowing animals over with my 8!
Good point tho, something to consider.

I don't think anyone plans on hitting an animal on the interstate...
Just get the OEM bumper and don't waste your time with cheap copies. What you plan to save will surely be made even with the potential of fitment and future durability issues. Plus, copies are just not cool period.
