I see them for pretty cheap on ebay once in a while and since i need a new front bumper i was thinking about buying one. Yay or nay?

 

Nay. Remember, you get what you pay for. Especially with eBay bumpers, they "most of the time" have bad fitment, crack, and you can just tell they're cheap. If you really really need one and theres no way you could get a real one, then yeah I guess it'll work, but it's not gonna look as good IMO.

 

go to the junkyard and pick up yourself a real one that's used. You can always repaint it.

 

I bought one and didn't really like how tight it fits between the headlights. Its up for sale now

 

****, i bought my civic bumper for 80$ shipped to my door and i think it fits just fine! i feel lucky now that i got a 'lemon'

 

go body kit man, dont blow your money on cheap ebay parts, check out

http://store.dragracing.com and check the kits for preludes, good price, free ship, very qualified sellers, bought alot from em.

 

yes

 

Even if they fit well, they are made from lower grade plastics and will warp in the sun over time. You see all of thoes wavy bumpers on the road? Cheap!!!

 

if they are certi-fit or how ever you spell it, i heard those fit pretty well.

not all the time, the quality control on these bumpers absolutely SUCKS

 

damn, i sure wish i knew all of this info BEFORE i went and bought an ebay bumper... now im kinda leary on what itll look like in a year ive already spent WAY more than estimated on my swap though, so i cant afford a new bumper.

just out of curiosity, where is a good and reputable store/site to buy a front bumper from (with a fairly good price)????

 

if you have a show car - then no..

if you have a car you DD and drive hard - bumpers and wear parts, like everything else

 

i have aftermarket front bumper, no one has mentioned anythign about it not fitting correctly, seems fine too me... i guess it depends which one you go for.
