After I wrecked my car I bought one of ebay for a quick fix for like $75. It was a piece of trash. Didn't fit at all, it left a 2" gap between it and the hood. It provided excellent ram air induction though. It didn't match up to the fenders right either. Sorry but don't have any pics. I looked long enough and got a gm bumper from ebay for $125 shipped.
I have an aftermarket front bumper cover on my car and it fits great. The thing to watch out for are aftermarket fenders - those never fit right, and usually need to be trimmed and adjusted by a body shop.

I got a bumper cover (lt1 style) and driver's fender from ebay. Both advertised as primer black, both looked black in picture... they were classic primer gray. Besides that, the bumper is great, I paid like $110 for it shipped, so it was cheap. Had it painted locally for $50 and it looks like stock. It's on my old v6, which I sold, so I don't have any pictures... but you can't expect a reproduction part to be perfect. It has imperfections, it doesn't line up perfectly, and it'll be tough to work into place.... but it fits and looks nice.
