Question Ebay front bumper...anyone use b4???

Wanted to know if anyone has ever used a new aftermarket repo front bumper that ebay has they are really cheap so I'm guessing they will fit like crap.. That's why I'm asking if anyone has used one before and how did it fit and other issues.

Gm wants I think about $400 or so for a new oem front bumper....

I know one guy got one from one seller there and it fit well. I got my fender from the same seller and it is I would say 95% perfect.

Some are crap from what I hear though, so you gotta be careful.

We bought one for one of my friends Z28 and it fit pretty damn crappy. Specially where the bumper met the fenders.

I don't know where my body shop got mine from, but I took one look at it and said "wow, send that POS back and I'll pay the difference for an OEM one if I have to"...it didn't even say CAMARO on the front like the OEM one does (behind the grille).

Only OEM will say Camaro on it, due to licensing.
