Default 2002 Front Bumper
Has anyone had any luck with a aftermarket front bumper. Or should I stick with OEM. Would like to change the front up but not if there isn't any good aftermarket bumber covers I will stick with OEM.

I agree that the TigerShark front and rear fascias are about the best looking parts for the car. If you can't source one of them, there really is nothing wrong with the OEM fascia.

Mine was a genuine starcraft set purchased from one of the forum vendors about 10 years ago. Fit and finish was great. Not sure who manufactures them today.
