Default How much for a front bumper?

I got a crack in mine twice (god damn armadillo!) and I think I need to just get a new bumper now...

that being said, I think I would like to start wit a fresh bumper.

how much do they cost? OEM vs non OEM?

just an FYI
Before everyone says Tigershark

They are not available currently and no ETA on shipping times.

Saying that the Tigershark we have for 649.99 for fascia and 160.00 shipping to a business when they are available for a comparison for you to stock

for just the front bumper cover it's somewhere around $350-400 + shipping costs for OEM unpainted. I believe I got my OEM replacement for around 380+shipping 2 years ago from a non forum vendor source.....although GM parts house is a great vendor to deal with!

You might get lucky and find one already painted in your color at corvette recycling. I can't put links, but just search online and you'll find it. But they usually run out of high demand body panels like bumpers and mirrors

If you want OEM, you might also check with Marc at VetteNuts.com. May not be the color you need, but should be at a good price.

Maybe try a wanted in the classifieds here. Also check Craigs. Most of the ones I saw on ebay were damaged takeoffs someone pulled from the junkpile at a bodyshop.

I'm not aware of a stock aftermarket replacement. So it's new GM or used. But good used ones come up for sale as people put custom stuff on or part cars out. Around $200 seems the going rate for a good used one.

I smacked a dillo up here in Cocoa Beach on US1 last year. There is no worse smell than armadillo meat all over your headers. Took me a while to clean it all off. Plus they supposedly carry leprosy so that's a plus.

You were supposed to have some TexJoy seasoning and a little packet of BBQ sauce in the car, leprosy cooks out.
