I'm having a difficult time trying to locate a silver front bumper for my 2013 camaro ss, I see a bunch of aftermarket painted replacement bumpers available online, it's tempting...

I dont want to take a chance with poor paint quality or a poor fitting aftermarket bumper.

Thanks!

I wouldn't chance it. You'd be better off buying a used OEM SS front bumper and getting it painted at a reputable shop. That way the shop can paint match it to your car and if you're not satisfied with the paint match/quality, you can have them re-do it.

EDIT: I sent you a PM with some whereabouts on a front bumper near you as well.

Replacement Front Bumper is very important for the safety and the outlook of the car. Before replacement makes sure about the quality of painted body parts and the cost involved. Don't compromise with the quality.

I guess it depends on car to car? Maybe, maybe not, because every cheap ass
black primer bumper cover I bought from eBay, FIT JUST FINE! Three MK6 Jetta,
a Chevy HHR; they all fit, no issues what so ever.

IF not, return it, and 9 times out of 10, they won't even want it back, and you will
get a refund anyway. I have gotten hoods that came damaged, they didn't want
them back, and I was able to keep the hoods. I was able to repair them, use them,
so basically, FREE repair parts. Fenders, they all fit...

Just do it, and if it doesn't fit, most will take care of it.
