I bought an aftermarket and OEM fender, couldnt tell the difference between the two. both lined up fine.

I also bought a used front bumper on ebay for $5, with 3 little tears. bought some flex bumper repair for $7 at Autozone and she also worked out great!

You can tell the difference. They are just cheaper. The aftermarket fenders flex more easily and they have sharp corners.

I just got one of the front clips for my car and I was totally shocked at how well it fit. The quality was also pretty damn good. I paid a total of $100 bucks with shipping...

I got a fender from ebay from this one seller and it is pretty good. It is slightly off (the corner of the fender above the headlight is a tad off) but other than that I'm very happy with it. They do paint too, but it isn't a perfect match and isn't laid exact, but for the price I can't complain and the car is much better looking now than it was when it had a chunk of the fender missing. Only downside was the fender didn't have the two metal brackets riveted to it like the stocker but it was easy enough to move them over.

Someone else also got a bumper cover from them and it fit like a glove. He's actually the one that I talked to a while before I ordered from these people.

The parts are made of the same plastic as the stock parts.

PM me if you want the seller's name (I don't think I can list it here).

i bought a $50 front bumper cover for my z28 and it fit great and looks great.

only difference is the word camaro is not embossed in the plastic. which I prefered. I wanted a clean look.

the only body line that is different, is the gap between the bumper cover and the hood. This is slightly wider then oem. then again i did save over $400 for oem, to me its worth it

I prefer the clean look on the front with everything filled in.

I will check and see if the same ebay store I got mine from is still around and give you the contact info, if your interested.

Hello, where do you think I could find on the net (links please) OEM parts : I need front bumper + front left fender, from a seller who could send to France.

I lost control on track, and now I have some repairs, but before that I really enjoyed the driving time....
