Where to get a front bumper cover? Alright, it's only a '93 but I figure you guys might be able to help.
I busted up my front bumper cover on my trans am and can't for the life of me find anywhere online that sells a replacement. Any ideas as to where I might be able to pick one up? Doesn't need to be painted, just need the cover to finish fixing her.
And yes, I've checked craigslist and the like but everyone seems to part out f-bodies that have been hit in the front end.

They were still being sold new in 2008. i don't know if it that is still the case though. IIRC mine was ~ $500 plus paint/install (around $970 total) i had a run in with a bale of hay that a farmer dropped out of his truck.

well it was all done through insurance so the body shop ordered it from somewhere but it was a new GM bumper. the bumper was ~ $450-$500 and the little bird on the front was $50 (seperate sticker)
incidently the body shop was going to try to find an aftermarket but none exist (they said sometimes those even fit better than oem) and said "it might not include the embossed bird" i told them to look at the parts list because the bird is seperate (i'm on bumper no 3, so i know is from when the original bumper was replaced in 06 due to a car wash)
I'm kind of glad there was no aftermarket or used available so the insurance co had to pay for a new oem one.

Wow, thanks for the help.
$545... more than I was hoping to pay, but that's all there is then ****. I wanna stay with the trans am front end, most likely just to make myself feel better.

I just checked the glove compartment for the invoice from the body shop and the bill was $913 total. The bumper cover was $512.75 and the emblem was $46. The rest was labor/paint.
