The front bumper cover and pass fender were replaced in april by a local dealership.


When i picked it up the first time from the bodyshop the front bumper lined up great but the fender looked streched.I noticed after a week the clips on the fender had popped off. Brought it back to them to replace the clips. Ever since then the front bumper has never lined up.

I have been fighting with Statefarm to get this bumper cover on right since June.The body shop tried 6 times to align the bumper. They have tried to force it to fit to the point of the paint spiderwebbing in 3-4 places and GET THIS they cut notches in the area for the turn signals.Big ones clear as day.

"GM outsources its replacements parts to other companys.Therefore all replacement bumpers will fit this way. GM Does NOT CARE. If we put another GM bumper on there the fit will be the same if not worse." Thats what I was told by Statefarm.

Is this the way a GM replacement bumper fits? Im lookin to take it to another shop. I need to be informed when i go there on monday.TIA

 

It looks like they put a after market (made in taiwan) bumper on there. I'd take it to a different body shop for a second opinion. You want a GM bumper. A GM bumper will come in a GM box, And fit just like your original bumper.

 

If it is aftermarket will it still say GM on it? This one has the GM stamp on the underside.

 

I agree I put some aftermarte front bumper cover on my car when I got it painted. I looks exactly like that with the gaps and not lining up properly. Its annoying as hell and looks cheap, tacky, and ghetto. I want it fixed so badly but can't afford to have my front bumper cover replaced and repainted. But one day I will get it fixed and have it looking like it should.

 

Your receipts should bear out whether it is a genuine GM part.

 

The receipt says it is from GM. Fascia-Fr #10248139 $276.00

 

I would try to find a shop that is more familiar with 93-97 Camaros. The GM part should not be ill-fitting.

 

If State Farm said that and it is really true, then call up Year One and see what they say. I am surprised that State Farm is screwing around. They are supposed to be the best at handling repairs ever since they got their peepee slapped a couple years ago for being the worst. I used to have them and never had a complaint.

If it is true, GM is not keeping their trade deal in keeping parts in production until 10 years after being made, and that would be at least 2007.....
