Default C5 Front bumper

I recently bought a 01 ZO6. The front bumber is cracked pretty good, Im guessing from a car stop in a parking lot. Where are you guys sourcing your body parts from? I would like fitment to be perfect, obviously. I can get a new OEM part for $400, but was looking for something a little more reasonable. Thanks.

You could always check ebay or the local junk yard for some OEM parts off of wrecks.

I bought my vette with a salvaged title and changed every body part on it. I don't know if there are any rules about name dropping and things like that on this forum but I know of some places you can get some. PM me and I'll give you details.

you get what you pay for..you might pay a little less for aftermarket parts but the fitment is not as nice as oem..

I replaced all parts with OEM parts by the way but didn't buy them from the dealer.

Thanks guys. PM sent. Its an extremely low mileage and clean car, with 0 mods. Looks like maybe the guy had a few and decided to run it into a speedbump, or something with the bumper, and cracked it about 3 inches at the bottom. A vette shouldnt have any imperfections, IMO.
