50resto wants $139 + $125 freight for a front bumper cover (89 GT).
I see them on ebay for about $160 shipped.

What's the deal? Do you really get what you pay for, or are the ones on ebay ok?

thanks

p.s. cost is a big factor

I wouldnt trust it. you get what you pay for. when it comes to nody parts, epecially fiberglass and eurethane I always get a factory replacement. knock offs never fit right and the ebay parts are most certainly reproductions.

Anybody else?

I am not building a show quality car so OEM isn't a requirement, but I do want it to fit.
Doesn't have to be perfect because my current one is trashed...

Thanks for the input, I will fork out the extra $100 and get the 50resto one. I have ordered from them before and had good luck.

regards
