Ebay bumper cover

Ok so today I got a check from the insurance for some minor damage to the front end of my car, I noticed on ebay I can get a bumper cover for only $48 where as the shop doing the repairs would charge me $325 for a reproduction cover. I am very interested in purchasing the one on ebay and was wondering if you guys have had any experience with them. thanks

I got an ebay one for about 100 and it sucked. didn't fit well at all so i ordered one of gmpartsdirect.com for a factory one. it should actually be delivered to my house today so i can compare both of them if you want.

i had ordered a new DS fender off ebay at one point for my old car, it came painted which matched surprisingly well to pewter... But the fenders fitment was ok except there was a big gap between the doors mirror and the fender... Thats all.

got my gmpartsdirect bumper cover in. haven't tested the fitment yet bc it was raining today but its definately thicker material and feels less flexible and a lot sturdier than the ebay cover.
