97-99 front bumper question

im looking around for a 97-99 bumper to do the front conversion and ebay has a ton of them, but are they stock quality? or are they made out of some cheap material. one of the auctions said that the bumper it was selling was made out of polyurethane. is that what they are all made of?

im going to use ebya as a last resort in case i cant find any local ones cus i know the shipping charges are pretty bad.

http://www.aemporium.com/nissanfb.htm

this place sells them for $80 with sihpping included and says they are the polyurethane ones. is this what i want?

I'd rather have urethane than whatever the stock ones are made from.

Don't buy from ebay. Get it from a local junkyard. Their shipping charges off ebay are borderline rape and you have to get it painted to boot. Just find one locally and you might even get lucky and find one that matches your car.

painting costs are not going to be an issue, its already taken care of. i am going to look around localy for a bumper, but if i cantg i think $80 shipped is a decent price, one i would have no problem paying

Shipping is insane or try to get it somewhere close even if its not in the yard. Maybe someone is selling one due to a crash?

How is $50 insane for shipping a big *** thing like that? Hoods are $120 from ebay and most sellers anywhere.

Because it's a waste of money when almost every single junkyard in the US has a maxima bumper.
