Need advice on this bumper ASAP

I crashed my car and I hate looking at the front bumper even though I popped it back out. Is this Fiber glass or urthane. Im not good when it comes to auto body but should I buy this for $32 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds to cheap!! I know someone that can paint it for me.

seems awefully cheap imho

i think when i had my T/A's front bumper replaced it was around $500 for the bumper and $50 for that little firebird logo on the front of it.

i'm guessing thats some cheap chinease knockoff? you might be better off with a used OEM bumper

I'd definitely get a junkyard car front bumper before I bought that. It probably isn't going to fit worth a crap.

Your question has already been answered but thought i would tell about my experience with these bumpers....there not rubber the actually almost a hard plastic.They dont flex like a oem.They dont fit good at all. After having two of them sent to me i finally went to a chevy dealer and ordered one. These things were so britall that i shattered it into a million pieces stepping on it. you get what you pay for.

Ebay scam??

How much did you pay for it at the dealership. Keystone in CT was recommended by the autobody shop and the weird part is the link that I showed you guys is the same as the Keystone from

http://info.automotix.net/bodyparts/...maro&year=1997

I think the guy on ebay is using there photo's and putting them on his ebay account and buying smashed bumpers primers them then sells them.

They are the same photo's from the previous post with the link to the ebay seller and this link which is from Keystone.

Im lost.
