HA. Nope. Somebody hit us this time. Of course it was in a parking lot and we never saw them. Tore up the other side of the bumper.

Seems like shipping usually costs more than the stupid piece of plastic. Try some salvage yards.

It is probably a used one from a wreck. I have one on my wife's car can't tell the difference.

Nice post noob.

Yeah. This Certifit. Not sure what you have in KC, but you could also see if you have a QualityPlus.

QualityPlus over Certifit, but Certifit will do.

And yeah, it'll be way Cheaper. It's not OEM but it works. If you prefer being Raped for OEM, go for it.

Everything we ever got from Certifit was new. It's overseas stuff, not OEM, so it's typically way cheaper.

How is the build quality though. Is it thinner plastic or still sturdy? What about how it fits?

122.50 plus 8.50 to ship it is hard to pass up but I am getting a lot of grief from friends about using a place like that.

The fit quality is good. We've never had an issue with them. Whether the plastic is any thinner or not I couldn't tell you honestly.

We don't do newer production cars very often. When we do it's usually for co-workers or friends so we only use them about 2-3 times a year, and when we get the cars they usually don't have the stock parts on them anymore so I've never been able to compare the two side by side.

But they go on and fit just fine.

And honestly, a lot places use their parts. At least the body shops I know of, they don't use OEM. Too expensive.

Go to a couple of reputable shops and ask them what they use.
