With straight after-market, you may save money up front but spend more on installation labor if you come across fitment issues. With OEM, you WILL spend more up front, but you will have a very low labor cost for install because fitment will be perfect.
There is a third option. Insurance companies authorize collision repairs to be made with Assured Quality Replacement Parts (AQRP). These parts are certified for a higher degree of quality and fitment than we would normally be able to get from eBay. Here's the link to a National business that wholesales and retails AQRPs.

A local collision repair center may also give you a good price on labor if you let them make a little money on buying the AQRP bumper for you.
Enjoy! |
Interesting. Never heard of AQRP, sounds like solid option if people don't want to spend the money on new OEM parts.
