Cosmetic damage - suggestions?

Cosmetic damage - suggestions?
Hi everyone. My poor 8 has suffered a little damage to the front end (thats what I get for letting my ex-girlfriend drive it hehe), and I wanted to get some feedback from other 8 owners as to what I should do to fix it.
First off, my air dam (?) underneath the front bumper is coming off, due to the aforementioned ex pulling too close to the curb and grinding the screws out of their places, and the plastic/rubber air dam coming loose, and then later (when I noticed it) folding over and grinding against the road when I got to a high speed. I was looking for a replacement (maybe an improved part, if one exists) but havent found anything yet.
Secondly, I just had another little accident that ended up punching a 3-4" rip into my front bumper. While this saddens me, I figured it might be a sign that I should look into getting a cooler front end to replace my still stock front end. I was looking at Ebay, and saw some interesting and affordable body kits there, but am a little leary about buying from Ebay. Do you guys know any good places to buy at least the front bumper part of some nice looking kits?
I know I dont have any pics with this, but I'll post some later. Im at work right now, and dont ahve access to my camera. I'll also take some pics of the tinting I got done a couple weeks ago Thanks!

Cool - that's more or less what I figured Now, I just have to decide on which kit will do. I've been seeing a kit on Ebay a lot named "Revolver"... Looked nice and was pretty affordable, which of course makes me wonder what's wrong with it hehe Anyone know of this kit, or have any experience with it?
