Best place to buy a new 93-97 Z front bumper cover?

My current bumper cover has a 2" tear in it that's annoying me to hell and back...so I chose to buy a new one. Where can I find one for a good price that's preferably not a different material or poor quality? Mine's seperated at the top ouside edges near the fenders and sags too...getting old. Thanks!

OEM will be 300 plus new

aftermarket/not OEM will be less, usually half....

Check salvage yards...

If you are talking about a bra for your car than I have one that I used for 3 weeks that looks like new. $45 to your door

If you can't get a GM factory part, I suggest getting a remanufactured piece. They should be readily availible in any city. Ask a good body shop in you're area on how to get one, or find a nice used piece.

I am currently fighting with what I was told to be the "best fitting" aftermarket front bumper cover. It SUCKS! The fit at the top of the cover to the fender where the lip slides into the fender slot doesn't want to stay in place. Also between the line between the hood and cover took a lot of work to get right.

I'd recommend dishing out an extra $100 or so for one of these. You'll save countless hours of adjustment yourself or having a shop do it.

Good advice. I'll have to look into a remanufactured piece. I would rather buy a black one from maybe a side or rear totaled car but prices usually suck. I'll keep the poor fitment in mind on the aftermarket ones...
