I have a crack on my cover, do u have to take the fog lights or the head lights on this job, it is a 96. also any one know a good kit or have used one that will work well for me? thanks.......SFC

 

Never took one off and can't answer your question but I have been looking at some on ebay. The price range is anywhere from around $70 and up with about a $100 shipping charge. Need to buy one myself but am kinda concerned that they may not be good quality or of the same thickness of the original. Can't imagine why the prices would be so different depending on who is selling them. I have a hard time buying something without taking a look at it.

 

Stay with OEM. You'll regret the aftermarket. If anything, Try salvage before you try aftermarket.

 

there is a place where i can get one for like 60 bucks here in town. Has any one worked on these?.......SFC

 

ive personally done my whole front end after i hit a tree. sry gmc but aftermarket is the way to go. i got mine off ebay for like 70 with free shipping and it fit better than an oem would. but only thing is mine is the older style. is 96 the same styling at the 94? i always forget which year they changed...

 

Did you have to drill the mounting holes or cut anything on it? I need one for a 97, same as the 96. How about the thinkness of the plastic, is it as thick as OEM?

 

It's GMD by the way.

I just speak from personal Collision repair experience.

 

my bad gmd...and no drilling or cutting was needed just pulled the old one off and slapped the new one on. granted this was my only body work ever so gmd has alot more experience than me...im just saying the cover i got fit much better than oem and same thickness and everything it just didnt have the little spot of the front for the badge...

 

I'm not saying you can't "Luck out" with certain manufacturers, but more often then not, they give you hell.

Purchase within your budget.
