Default EBAY bumper, yay? nay?

Who has experience with the generic bumpers on ebay? I'm looking at getting a 98-01 bumper off ebay from one of the vendors that paints them.

Quality decent?? Any experiences? For $250... its a good deal.

If you are picky about fit and finish, then get an OEM bumper!! If you don't really care and just want a bumper, egay stuff will be just fine!! It just won't look right!!

...as long as it looks good from 3 feet away i'm happy, this is a $1500 beater I just bought with messed up bumpers, i'm really not going for a show car. But If i can have a $1500 '94 teg that looks like an '01... well that'd be great.

years ago I bought one from eBay for $75. I threw a quick paint job on it and it looked just like stock

A friend has on on his 98 GSR. The only reason I figured it out is b/c it didn't have the INTEGRA on it

i just got one to do a conversion with and it fit right in no mods at all, looks like stock, if you wanted to get pickey cut out the integra part of your oem and jb weld it ionto your ebay bumper...lol jk, but the paint will probly peel in about 6 months under warm/ or cool salty weather...

coming from a body freak who does his own work, the ebay bumpers are junk. last one i bought was for an accord and had 35 hours of prep and fit time in it for it to fit nice and tight and look striaght. buy oem.

You need 98+ headlights as well if you want it to look like a 98. Go to a junk yard and buy an OEM bumper.
