Front Bumper Covers? Two Kinds?!

I am going to replace my front bumper cover soon and I was wondering if there are two different kinds of them out there. By kinds I mean what they are made out of and how they hold up. My sister had to replace the bumper cover on here 97 lumina and the one my dad got doesn't seem to be as sturdy as the original piece. I don't want that for my camaro though. Her car doesn't have the paint on it yet, but i think the difference would be minimal. Anyhoo, if any of you know for sure there are different kinds out there, let me know. Thanks, John.

The difference would be in a quality GM piece vs a cheap aftermarket version. You get what you pay for.

Yeah, same goes for the fenders, aftermarket fenders and bumpers are crap, they need tons of prepwork just to get the casting flash off of them.
