Where can I find a Bumper Cover???

I've been looking everywhere and all I'm really seeing is Ecklers for like 500.00 bucks which is ridiculous for something that I know isn't going to fit good anyways...

So does anyone know where to get one for a more reasonable price?

Re: Where can I find a Bumper Cover???

I'm in the same situation looking for front and rear bumper. Everybody told me to find used bumpers as aftermarket never fit 100%. Maybe you can find some in a junkyard. Classic Industries has front bumper for $300. They had a 20% coupon code for September. They should have discounts throughout the year and around Christmas. When I signed up for an account on their site, a message poped up about the discount. I already new about it just from google but nice to see it from them. Not sure how much shipping is. http://www.classicindustries.com/con...rchCatalogId=1

Any bumper from a 3rdgen will fit your car. However any bumper not 91-92 with aero ground effects will need to have new mounting holes drilled to match up to with your aero ground effects. Rear bumpers are interchangable too. However through the years they changed slightly to be a little more taller and have different surface contours.

Let us know how you make out.

Check with Hawks - I haven't seen any new ones there lately, but they may have used in decent shape. Bumper covers are the hardest to find, and most expensive - let's face it - too many teens crashed into something over the years. I got a new one at Hawks, but it cost me $400. Good Luck!

That's not correct. Any 85-92 Camaro front bumper from a car with ground effects will work. There is no difference between 85-90 and 91-92 front bumpers.

We sell our front bumpers for $135 but we are out of stock right now.

Re: Where can I find a Bumper Cover???

You sell used bumpers that are good for paint for 135?

I've been looking for bumpers in a wrecking yard for about 4 years and they're always taken the first day or two the car gets there or they're demolished.

I'm tired of looking and just want my car painted already.

I need a front bumper cover and both front fenders... THOSE I can find in the junkyard.
