eBay bumper covers?
I was curious if anyone wiser than myself knows if these are the "real deal" that will bolt in just like the OEM's, or are some cheap fitting, look-alike front bumper covers.

If I had to do it all over...and I may, I'd get OEM. I bought an aftermarket cover and it doesn't fit well at all, as a lot of reproduction pieces don't. Notice the gap between the cover and the hood in the pic. <p>

Well that answers my question Thanks for the pic as well, that really reinforces it.
Looks like I'll really be ripping apart some poor Camaros in junkyards lol

That bumper looks like you dont have it adjusted right. The top corner needs to be pushed in and the bottom be pushed up. The curve on the side doesn't line up with the curve in the fender...you bolted it down to low so the top is stretched out. Even OEM peices don't fit exactly and may need the holes drilled out to get proper fitment.

Alignment can be necessary on OEM or Aftermarket parts either... but from what I saw in that picture, it looked like there was simply not enough material to cover next to the hood.
any body parts will need to be aligned, but if you didnt touch your hood or fenders then the nose should be fairly easy to bolt up and be straight....
