Has anyone ordered one of the painted bumpers from ebay before? I'm looking to replace my rear bump as it's seen better days with some dents/crack and the prices are looking pretty good.

"This listing is for an ECONOMY painted part. This bumper is folded for the most economical shipping possible; this folding can cause minor imperfections."

Doesn't sound promising...............

 

Honestly it doesn't look very promising. Theres bumpers for $80-90. If you want to go cheap pick one of them up and go to maaco and have them spray it. They do entire cars for a few hundred. It would probably be pretty cheap to have them spray it

 

I wonder how well the paint would match...

 

Thanks vinder. The seller's link is below; it looks like they are temporarily out of stock but I have seen several sellers with the identical part:

Most of the sellers I had found were in California. Good luck with your project!

My experience with Ebay aftermarket bumpers is...Nope. One hundred percent of the time they have fitment problems, so unless you know how to modify them, are willing to pay a body shop to modify them they are just a bad investment. Once you paint or modify them, you can't return them. Take a look at this bumper cover I bought in 2019 for a Civic Si. Although the seller promised it would fit, it had all kinds of gaps and fitment issues, the body shop who was installing it told me that if they modify it, they couldn't guarantee the work, and it would end up costing more than if I had bought an OEM. When I tried to return it was another story, I ended having to go directly to Ebay to get a refund which took weeks

 

Thank you sir really hope mine turns out like yours .. looks sweet
