Cheap bumpers on EBay, Cheap Quality?

[K-BL]

Below is a list of bumpers found on E-Bay, I was wondering, are these ok to go with as long as I give the car a good paint job?

less than 100 for it shipped?

I just want to know if the plastic is of good quality, that it will hold paint well and won't let it chip off. What do you guys think? Is this a good buy, or a cheap tonka part?

OOOH! They're black plastic! This *would* allow me to complete my evil plans! *ponders*

i've seen these for a long time on ebay and i've wondered about them, too. however, it would still cost me a lot to have the thing painted. sorry i don't have any input. i am a little skeptical, but plastic is plastic, right?

Not all plastics are the same, no.

our stock bumpers are black plastic.

True. But mine's painted green (hence the problem!)

Paint is only as good as what it's painted on.

If you start with a crappy bumper, you end up with a crappy bumper.

has anybody out there bought one of these bumpers? Can you tell us if you've had any problems with it?

I have bought one aobut a year ago off E-bay but have not painted or mounted it. The plastic appears to be of good quality. Need to get rid of it now as I have a strictly forigen cup bumper coming in.
