Default Anybody know anything about these ebay bumpers?

I have been looking for a new bumper for my car and ran across these. It just seems to cheap. I was wondering if anyone bought one or knows anything about them?

crap Chinese imports. stay with OEM or a reputable aftermarket supplier. you get what you pay for and sometimes with parts like that, you get even less.

if you brought something like that to a good bodyshop they would hate you for it and the labor to get it to look "almost" good would be expensive in the long run

That is what I figured. It seems to be to good to be true. I know absolutely nothing about this kind of stuff. It is just that the local body shops want to charge $400 for a bumper then 200$ to paint it.That is then $800 for bumpers and 400$ for paint......I was looking to get it done a little cheaper. Does anyone know a place to goet a good NEW bumper at? I dont like buying from a salvage yard and having them ship something that is in as-is condition.

Just a heads up, but a lot of body shops use crappy parts for repairs. Ask where they get their parts from.

I've had reasonable luck with "Sorta-fit" (Certi-fit) stuff before. They're far from the best, but there are reasonable aftermarket parts available. Also, you may want to look up an autobody supply shop. Keystone parts are of reasonable quality as well. Nothing fits like OEM, though. Keep in mind that no matter what you buy, if it's not GM, it WILL require fitting to make it look good.
