Aftermarket Bumpers on Ebay?

[skowinski]

I need to replace the dented front chrome bumper on my 1996 4Runner. The dealer wants over $300 for a OEM bumper, and the cheapest online I found for OEM was about $220 plus shipping. On Ebaymotors these are listed:

Anyone have experience with these, fit, quality, etc? Looks like all up I can have one at my door for about $125....

check out certifit.com . i have seen someone replace the whole front bumper setup (that chrome piece pictured and the plastic valence below it) for around 90 dollars including a new mounting bracket, i saw it up close and have to say it's identical to stock, check out the site and see if you can get it locally

$174 is list on the a/m bumper from what I have. Check with a local body shop and find out who supplies aftermarket in your area. Call them and tell them your (cousin,uncle, whoever) works at the shop (not really) and said to ask for a discount. They'll probably let you have it for 25% off of that or about $139 no shipping and you get to look at it before you drive off and try to install it.
