I was looking at the ECS euro bumpers and the oem euro bumpers from IND Dist. but of course they cost more but for extra they'll paint it too. I'm in no rush for the bumper though.
Go with the painted as opposed to a local shop. Their experience with the exact color will be the difference. Install of a bumper is rather easy so you can do it yourself. Depending on condition, you can sell your oem bumper for a few dollars or reinstall it and sell the Euro bumper when and if you ever sell your car. There is definitely a market for used painted Euro bumpers although shipping is always a pain in the rear. And specifically Alpine White as there are so many of them out there.
