Default Rear bumper ideas?

in the market for a new rear bumper and i honestly can't find anything that isn't ridiculously expensive or not made anymore. anybody have any suggestions? looking for something that will give me a better departure angle and protection. I don't do anything too serious but I only want to buy one bumper.. so might as well go big instead of having to upgrade down the road. thanks in advance!

What do you consider ridiculously expensive?

$1125 for a rte.. i get that some people think it's the "best one out there" but honestly I am not looking to spend that much.

Do you have access to welding gear and do you know how to weld? Build one! There are plenty of ideas on the web.

fish- I really like the look of those and hear he does great work but haven't seen any way to contact him recently.

Joe- my friends dad has welding equipment and wouldn't mind welding a bumper together for me if I could get the metal it's just that my dad thinks it would be more exspensive and not as strong..

also another huge problem i have is him not wanting me to cut my quarter panels.. any suggestions on convincing him why I should?

That's odd...you're saying he doesn't want to you to chop the rear up??? Can't imagine why

You could go with the britpart or TF rear bumper to avoid cutting
