I just bought a 01 camaro (today :) ) and the front bumper is cracked from when the previous owner had a very low speed collision. The clear coat is also spiderweb cracked all over the bumper.

I see a lot of CHEAP front bumper covers on ebay (~$70 bucks shipped). Has anyone bought one, and if so, how was the fit?

Here are some examples.

I'm going to bump this b/c I'm going to be needing one as well.

Also, is GM "that" much better, and what's the price for a GM front bumper cover?

just do it if it's $70. you get what you pay for though. I bought some aftermarket fenders, they don't have the same feel/quality as OEM and missed all the metal support brackets.

I've had experience with aftermarket body panels. There's nothing like OEM stuff. I gave away a perfectly good aftermarket bumper that came on my 4th gen and replaced it with a used OEM bumper.

On the other hand not all companies are of the same quality. It might be a quality copy and for that price it'll be a steal. But you buy a nice used bumper for like $100-$150. That's what I did.
