Differences between OEM and aftermarket Bumpers...

I was gona do a 97 conversion on the front of my 95. And from what i have heard is that aftermarket bumpers have ALOT of fitment issues...

Coming from a perfectionist such as myself, i would want a nice fit...but then again i want a good deal...

Has anyone gotten an aftermarket bumper? any problems? pics?

Basically, what should i do? spend more money for a good fitment? or save some money for less quality? or is it the same thing?

help me out guys

Great question, as the manager of a body shop I'll give you a hint.

Aftermarket bumpers are hit or miss. Sometimes they fit great, and sometimes they are down right nasty.

**Here's a good tip**
You can get a remanufactured OEM bumper cover from most shops that sell aftermarket covers, just ASK THEM!! Thats the best bang for your buck!

I bought my aftermarket bumper from ebay, fits great, looks identical, and it was a around $50 plus shipping.
