Default Front Bumper Cover

I have a 94 z28 and recently had my front bumper ripped off by some idiot who blew a red light (he kept going too). Anyway i was wondering if any of you knew where i could find one that is relatively inexpensive and will line up good?

OEM parts fit more reliably than most anything aftermarket.

I can tell you from experience, an aftermarket front bumper is a huge pain to put on. Alos with the camaro, it likely won't have the hole for your emblem or the sharp body line in the middle that your oem one has. Try:

used is $150 plus shipping, which you have to contact the place to find out how much. I think they are located in South Carolina, not horribly far away from you.

Junkyard. If you are lucky, you may even find one the same color.

Exactly. It's been this way since the beginning of time. Even if there is a car there with a good front bumper odds are the entire clip is good and they'll want to sell it as a whole or it's already been sniped.

Check craigslist.org on a daily basis dude. When i bought mine it had a cracked fender, front and rear bumpers. I found a guy in a neighboring city parting out a black z28 with great body parts. I payed $100 for all three pieces.

Granted, it may take some time to find your color, but give it a shot. I have had great luck by checking my city, and the surrounding cities as well.
