I don't think you will find a best cheap place to buy new bumpers. I got mine from MidAmerica $450 shipped. I ordered them Saturday and they arrived Wednesday. I will install them this weekend.

We sell both fiberglass and the flexy glass bumper covers. We only install the flexy covers in our shop. We have them listed in the forum sale section. Here is the link: http://willcoxcorvette.com/advanced_...eywords=bumper

holy crap! did you file a damage claim with the shipper? they broke it!
j/k

i agree there is no best cheap place. quality will cost you. i have used ecklers products with great results. i have only used ecklers, aci, and vanacor for body parts and the ecklers products were the best out of the ones i have tried. others have had great results with the other companies listed here also. i had a bad experiance with aci but many forum members report good things about them so i may have just got the isolated bad part.
