Bumper covers

Maybe I'm not doing a good search but I've not found information on replacing the bumper covers on my '95 Z-28.

Anyone know a link or have good tips? I can muddle my way through it but insight and warnings would be nice.

Secondly, any opinions regarding which ones to get. I see plastic ones for a good price on eBay and poly-urethane ones (like in Ecklers) for much more. Any input regarding which is best? I like saving money but for this job I will go the more expensive ones if they are in fact better.

Re: Bumper covers

Shoebox has the exploded view diagrams of the front and rear bumper covers on his excellent website:

If you need more detail than that, I can give you a link to an online copy of the 94 shop manual.

Re: Bumper covers

Yeah, I had already checked out Shoebox's site. It's a regular stop for me when I'm starting a project. Still like to know of other's experience with the product offerings out there.

Re: Bumper covers

I don't know if GM covers are still available, but a lot of aftermarket ones can be poor quality and won't fit as well or they are weak and distort in the wind. I always try to get the GM stuff, if possible.
