Default Where to get a good bumper?

I've been looking for a good bumper and fender. I don't really want to pay oem prices. But at the same time I want it to fit. What do you guys think of these. Or do you have any other suggestions of places to look?

I wouldn't advise an aftermarket cover, especially on these cars. Either go OEM, or there is another option of reconditioned or remanufactured covers. Basically that is an OEM cover that has been repaired before by another company. There quality is much better than aftermarket. As a shop, we can see some flaws in these covers sometimes, but 95% of people will never see it. That would be the only other option I would suggest other than OEM.

The company we use is called Houston Bumpers. I'm not sure where you are located, but they do quality work. You may want to call them and get a quote to have one shipped to you.
