Default Replacement Bumper for 2000 Civic Si

What's up I found this auction on ebay for replacement body parts. They have primed, pre-painted, and raw/unfinished bumpers. The prices are really low compared to my body shop. Due to the latest storm here in Mass my bumper was damage(passenger side clip and connecting point on bumper broken, bumper is no longer flush against fender). I know you get what you paid for, but these guy's got pretty good feedback from their buyer's. Has anyone on H-T experienced the quality of their work?

Hey, I ordered from them for my 99 ex front bumper, the paint was an exact match (i have red) there was a drip mark under the bumper sort of its hard to explain but its not noticable. The body shops wanted 400 to paint my bumper and i think this was just as good. It also came well packed, they wrap it in foam and then put a bag over it.

i got one from them

paint was an exact match, however wasn't a thick paint job...
months later chip[s fucked up the paint and it started to peel
fitment was crappy, would barely mount like stock without severe effort.

400 to paint a bumper!!! holy crap

there is a honda-tech member here who paints my parts
he painted my front bumper, rear bumper, front and rear lips, two fenders, and a grill for 400 bucks and it was awesome

Okay, now I have a 50/50 here, anyone else. I can pay my bodyshop $300 and they will buy a new bumper, paint it, install oem lip, fog lights, and mount it. I was thinking if I got the ebay bumper I could save a little money and get a CF lip. Anymore suggestions

Do you already have the foglights and lip for them to install?

Spend 300.00 and get some nice paint and guranteed fitment.
