Finally found a used bumper cover!!

Ok so I've been looking for like 2 months now for a used sterling mist bumper cover and I finally found this one on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250305479688

Is this the right bumper for a 2001? When I was looking at it, it looks like the grill goes back a little to far. Also is this a good enough deal for someone who is desperate for a bumper cover atm? Or can I find one used somewhere else.

It'll fit your 01.

but whats the matter with buying a bumper and then paying a shop to match it to your current paint.

I was thinking of doing that but buying a bumper would be the same price basically of this one, then like 100-200 more for painting it. I just don't have that much money atm to be doing that. also I don't think a new paint job would be able to match the wear on the cars paint over 7 years?

Depends where you go. A good body shop should be able to match the paint pretty close, they'll just need your car there to sample the current paint.
