Well since I have both I will add my two cents.
The MP5 bumper is a THICK bumper. It is very durable but I think the bottom could use some reinforcement. Wasn't too hard to cut the black plastic bumper behind either. Bolting it up is a different story. You pretty much have to guesstimate where to drill the holes.
The Corksport bumper has a little less fiberglass and is a lil more flimsy. Not like its gonna fall apart or anything....Dont't get me wrong. This bumper goes on without modification and actually has impressions of the original bolt locations so you can drill them and bolt right up.
Can you see my dilema?? I think I am going to stick with the MP5. I think it should be ok, just have to re route the intercooler piping now... Hope this helps.

Thanks Jarid, that does basically cover all I needed to know.... <p>I have decided however, because I have NO money and I live in an area where I would bottom out with the MP-5 constantly, I have decided to go with the Corksport... <p>Thanks for all your help, you guys are amazing!
