Default Del Sol Bumper Question

Car is getting repainted soon, OEM front bumper is pretty bad.

Was looking at something like this from eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...Q5fAccessories

Was wondering if these things are really bad and have terrible fitment? Also, are they fiberglass or what? Description is very vague, and I am assuming these are probably mold, from a mold, from a bold, and won't fit for ****. There are tons of these all over eBay from different sellers.

Figured I would ask in case someone's used them and they actually aren't too bad.

I had a really chewed up front bumper and i found one on craigs list. The man said it was OEM and it looked like it , but when i put the bumper on it fit way more snug then my OEM. I still haven't got it to fit perfect. The 8 bolts in the top center dont line up properly. But i thought it was just the cold weather and that it would stretch out a little when it got warmer out. I hope it is true. Other then that the bumper looks identical to the OEM one. Check out my build thread. Lots of pics.
The one i got is made out of Poly Urithane. It is a flexible material and is what OEMs are made out of. You want to avoid fiberglass fronts. They dont bend they just crack. Ask the seller what the bumber is made out of.
Just bare in mind if it is not OEM you will Always have to work with it to get it to fit.
Check out this link, they are supposed to be cheaper then honda and garentee a good fit. I think their price for the front bumper is near 40$

Good to know. That looks identical to the eBay bumper. I was hoping it wasn't fiber glass, glad to see it wasn't.
