Do they have more? There aren't any a/m vette facias. I'm an insurance adjuster and I looked all over and checked all our local salvage yards. $200 shipped is good. GM parts direct sells them for like $250 or so.

Ok need some help. The front bumper made of Polyurethane correct?

What about something like this

3M™ Automix™ EZ Sand Flexible Repair material offers a 10 minute worktime and can be sanded with grade 180 abrasives in 30 minutes resulting in an excellent featheredge. It is recommended that 3M's Polyolefin Adhesion Promoter 05907 be used when working with polypropylene and ethylene propylene interior and exterior parts.
