New 85-90 TA/GTA bumper covers available again cheap!!!
New 85-90 TA/GTA bumper covers available again!!! These have been unavailable for at least the last 12 years or so. The last gm ones sold out about 1998 and then the aftermarket people also stopped making them so now we are using used parts on our show cars.
These new ones are aftermarket, but short of finding NOS, that is the best we could ever hope for, because even when gm re-issues "genuine" parts for these cars, they are made in china and they are worse quality than aftermarket repros.
Has anyone tried one of these?
They are cheaper than used. probably substandard but I would like to hear from someone who has bought one and tried to make it fit on the car. Who knows it could be good.
I am almost ready to buy one based on cheapness alone!.. Only costs $150 including shipping 3000 miles from california!
Here is the link

i bought an aftermarket one about 5yrs ago and middle part where it meets the hood was wider and didnt line up with the lines on the hood. It also sunk in the same spot. I would buy a good used one before I buy another ebay one.
