So I need a new front bumper. There seem to be 3rd party vendors that make OEM looking bumpers. OEM type material they claim.
Rock auto shows $152
ebay has a bunch.
Some even come pre-painted

Any experience with these?

i say be the first to try and let us kno. ive always wondered about those oem replicas and how good they were but no ones tried them

 

go with what sr71 said

 

You don't want it pre-painted as it will probably not match since your car is at least over 5 years old. The money you save on buying the replica will be put towards the body work it's going to need if you want it to look 100% OEM.

 

^sometimes thats the case with aftermarket replicas. but ive never known anyone to try oem replicas. who knows might be jus as good as oem. idk they get their specs from nissan and use the same manufacturing techinique as them. jus like those third party companies that make oem parts for cars that are outdated. they get their specs from the manufacturer too i believe
