have you tried aftermarket stuff? if so, did it look and fit right?

sure have and the bad boy fit just as well as the OEM one did... I was in a bit of a parking lot incident a couple months ago and instead of dealing with a body shop I just ordered a painted bumper on ebay for as cheap as possible... the seller i bought from ended up being a PITA but the bumper fit great. just as happy as I was when I had the OEM on there

since youve been doing body work for quite some time, how much do you think i should expect to spend if i got the OEM part and got everything done up for me properly?

i dont have too much money but im real **** about my car, shes my baby.. lol im sure most of us feel the same way.
Send me a link, I got screwed on my hood. If its the people I think it may be, your better off without....

I think you can save some money by just installing the bumper yourself...it's pretty easy.

BTW, which part of CA are you in?
