Best bumper cover
About to buy a new bumper cover and wanting to know if anyone has experience on which bumper cover is of better quality? I know Hawks has NOS bumpers, just wondering if the aftermarket ones are better?

Re: Best bumper cover
Aftermarket is usually junk due to fitment / alignment issues...can you even get aftermarket parts still yet? I looked but can't find anyone whoa makes the aftermarket bumpers anymore.... this is for a Firebird though.

Re: Best bumper cover
GM dealers still sell the part too, but not sure if it’s really the exact original part.
GM dealers still sell the grille, but it’s shiny now.. the original was flat black..
I think it would probably be fine but haven’t had experience with it. It’s not cheap..
Ive heard the aftermarket front spoiler is junk, but maybe it has improved. I know a guy who got one and doesn’t look bad..
Go to a Chevy parts department and you can still find the bumper cover..
