That bumper is nice but the link on ebay is for a fiberglass one. Get a urethane one. Fiberglass will crack to **** in a couple of months.

That's C-West "STYLE" it aint gonna fit right, you're probably gonna have to get it modded at a bodyshop in order to make it fit perfectly.

Apparently some people dont know about shipping and handling (75+ on most of those bumpers) and alse they're aftermarket pieces which wont have perfect OEM fit.

Like the bumper, but I would avoid the fiberglass version. I was actually gonna buy that exact bumper (well the 96-98) but went against it for a factory instead because of the risk in cracking plus having to get it painted.


Got a factory bumper primed and painted to match my color code off ebay for $170 shipped. Fit perfectly.

I thought C-West was polyurethane or whatever? I wouldn't go with the ebay C-West STYLE one, fiberglass sucks.

Personally I'm doing a 99-00 conversion and getting the stock bumper with SI lip.
