only one way to find out....the materials may not be OEM grade, but who knows....for that kinda money Id try it If I needed it.

[Loochy88]

for the money, id try it.

or even better, id try to figure out where they're getting them from so cheap.

i agree.. if it works u just saved urself a butt load of money, if not.. your out, and u can share with the rest of us not to buy them.

i had to get one for my car, and if you have a really good temper i would suggest it. The turn signals dont fit right in it. and bolting it is a pain. the holes line up, kinda, but since its hard plastic it doesnt bend easy. maybe you should look for someone parting out and pick one up from him.

but if you are set on buying one check here first

thats where I got mine along with a fiberglass hood for about 291 total (i picked it up)

Not sure how it fits though, have'nt had a chance to get warm weather to fit it and then get it painted.

Update...

Yes the bumper fits like CRAP! and this hood just plain sucks too....mishapen.

I have a gap i can fit my middle finger into between the low beam side of the headlights and no gap in front of the high beam area of the headlights.

Also it took my entire weight to shape the bumper to put it up and align it on the bolt studs. Severly malformed, warped in a ton of areas.

What can I say...i shoulda spent the extra hundred and gottena GM part.

Re: Bumper covers on ebay?

pics?

also, who did you order from?

[Antiricer4u]

Re: Bumper covers on ebay?

prolly get pics later loochy...

I tried putting the old headlight mounts behind the new halos and that helped some...tightened up the light to bumper gap and now its at least a semi even gap across the front of the lights. They also sit tighter to the fender. Evidently that was part of the problem.

I will get pics of the main problem points maybe thurs.

Re: Bumper covers on ebay?

Here you are loochy.

The main probs I have with is the underside piece that wraps around and pins into the bumper supprt underneath, as well as in front of the headlights, the curve that follows the shape of the inside curve of the lights and the fit against the hood and lastly the fit of the corner markers. Which could HARDLY be called a "fit".
