I need to replace my front bumper cover due to a recent fender bender. I was wonder how good a reproduction bumper cover would be.

I replaced both covers on my car, and the quality of mine was excellent, they where just like the factory (if not better) however if u have never changed one of the front covers they can be sort of a b*tch to put on...

Hey yea, the company's name was S&E Panel and it is in Dexter, Missouri... It is just a small company but the products that they sell are excellent and the price is amazing, I think I payed right around a hundred for the front cover and about 85 for the rear, they look just like stock with all the correct molds and stamps. I will get you their number 2morrow and list it on here or if u are in a hurry just call the operator and ask for S&E Panels in Dexter....

I had mine replaced with an aftermarket cover and ended up replacing it again with a genuine GM one. I was dissatisfied by how it lined up and the way the flashings were cut. I am a very picky person, tho.

I replaced mine with one from GM but they didn't have the lower part. The lower aftermarket part fits like chit while the GM part fits perfect.

the front nose is relativley easy to change. just take out the headlight bar with the nose and take the lower spoiler with it and it's easier to work with when you have it off the car. My dad timed my the last time i changed it out and i had the old one off everything switched over and back on the car in about 30 minuites. the hardest part is getting to the 10mm nuts at the top inside of where the nose and fender meet. 1/4 inchdrive ratchet and a deep 10mm socket will be your best friends on the change.
